which were first wrapped with paper wire from Smithers Oasis. To create
construction, an iron ring of the same diameter was placed.
The wire ends were attached to this, also with paper wire. To each wire end
a water tube is attached. In this way, the wreath becomes cylindrical. In the tubes
Avalanche roses are placed in the tubes and mini southern wind lilies are inserted between them.

the leaf stays nicely within the shape throughout. The Avalanche Peach rose colors beautifully
with the leaves and with the beautiful brown Tillandsia flowers. For a surprising effect
these are placed asymmetrically between the roses.
Cylinder
The base for this cylindrical table piece is a Bio cake pan from
Smithers Oasis. Around this are placed a number of rubber bands. Between
the rubber bands and the floral foam, sticks can be clamped. These
sticks are, in the right quantity, cut to the same length at the same time.
