Create a Spectacular Bouquet of Flowers Using This Genius Trick

You can arrange flowers like this with your own two hands. Yes, it’s possible. And it’s much easier than you think.

One cold winter morning, Leah and I found ourselves looking for parking in Crown Heights. Now, if you know anything about Crown Heights, you’ll know that finding a spot is really not easy at all. Especially when you are in a rush.

Finally, a spot materialized out of nowhere. And right in front of Mimulo, of all places.

Leah and I decided it was a sign from above and we had to step in and say hi. Chani and Frieda were hard at work, creating some gorgeous arrangements for an upcoming event. We schmoozed and laughed, and watched how the magic happened, seemingly without much effort at all. Watching closely, we quickly learned a method that is so simple and yields beautiful results. Of course, like whenever we learn something new, beautiful, and inspiring, we immediately think of you, our dear readers, and decide that we must share the knowledge.

So here, let us show you how.

You will need:

Using the shears, carefully cut the chicken wire into an approximate square of 20- x 20-inches. Form it into a ball, and place inside the vase.

 

Secure the ball to the vase with Scotch Tape 

and then fill with water.

Start by placing the longer branches at the two extremities. These branches will kind of spill over and almost touch your table.

And voila, in no time, you are done!
