DIRECTIONS
-Insert wire armature in container (Fig 1)
-Using armature to hold stems, place first gladiola horizontally so
that flower extends 12” beyond container and stem rests on both sides
of rim. (Fig 2)
-Insert second gladiola, cut several inches shorter than the first, so
that it extends horizontally, just above the first. (Fig 2)
-Cluster Carnations, making “round mound, wrapping stems with floral
tape, cut and insert into armature to balance gladiola. (Fig 3)
-Add fern where needed for balance
NOTES:
-Beaded wire armature “collars” are available at Floral and craft shops
in the Bridal section. -Try making your own by “tangling”
metallic wires that you have strung pearls and/or crystals and beads on.
-If using a clear glass container, the armature will fit inside and add
interest as well as hold the stems of your plant materials.
