You may put a finger into the design and touch the foam to see if it is getting dry. But it's always a good idea to add a little water every few days to a foam base. I usually take my design and place it under a tap of water. When the water runs off the container, I know that the foam is saturated and then I empty the excess water. Hope this is helpful.
I grew up in the floral field. Third generation. I have four university degrees including both a Masters and also a Doctorate in Education. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for your comment. The purpose behind these videos is to give you a general idea of the kinds of things that you can make. Of course feel free to experiment with not only different colors but also with different flowers. This is what will make your designs interesting, and unique to you! Keep designing and have fun!
Very beautiful. Very simple to make too. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I am going to make some for my sister and my mom's home, for them to have as a centerpiece this xmas.
Thank you so much for such a thorough lesson. You take your time, and you mention each piece used in the arrangement. I do have one question. I work mainly with silk flowers, but have a difficult time finding the foliage. Any suggestions?
@zapamipi Thanks for your comment. Tie some florist wire, (good to use a heavy guage) in through the bottom of the pine cone. You may sometimes also buy cones with picks that have already been added.
