Under the stars
Coarse Pinus branches are inserted horizontally with the lines of the Oasis Bioline Star into
the shape. This finishes the sides nicely and gives the star that
typical Christmas look. To add movement to the arrangement, the flowers
of a Tillandsia plant and panicles of Miscanthus 'White Cloud' are also processed in this way.
incorporated. Hypericum 'Magical Triumph,' 'Tomato Flair' and Jatropha 'Firecracker'
are, in order to further accentuate the star shape, staked short in the oasis.
The beautiful Helleborus 'Moondance' at the center softens the arrangement.
Mood lights
In a store, you can't always make the bases yourself. These tea light holders already form
a nice frame. To give them a slightly different look, a number of gold-colored
aluminum wires, some wrapped with gold bouillon wire. This is decorative but
also technically gives the possibility of attaching tubes and baubles to the base. Some
beautiful bendable mini south wind lilies and Tillandsia leaves "grow" nicely through the wires.
Christmas Wreaths
As the base for the Christmas wreaths, Styrofoam wreaths were
were used. Holes were first drilled
into which plastic tubes were inserted. Then
melted candle wax was applied. The materials
were glued or placed on silver aluminum wire
put which were inserted through the candle wax into the Styrofoam
were inserted. Inside the tubes are roses,
orchids, Tillandsia, snowberries and
Alocasia foliage placed inside.
Christmas tree alternative
A simple wood disc has a wire -
end as the central point, around this is a
wad of silver aluminum wire processed
using the crush technique - several meters of
kneading wire into the right shape. In this
alternative miniature Christmas tree, countless
decorative materials: small
baubles, pine cones, Tillandsia leaf and Alocasia leaves.
Enclosed
The base of this bouquet is made of half a Styrofoam ball from which a ring is
cut. Prepared leaves were glued onto the Styrofoam with hot glue. Around this
is wrapped a layer of bouillon thread. This is decorative but also ensures that
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.
Line play
A rectangular wooden bowl was filled with clay and covered with dried Tillandsia, which was secured with staples. Willow cattails (Salix) were inserted into the clay, then folded and also fixed with the tip in the clay. The resulting sleek shape has a beautiful interplay of lines, attention to design is very important. With hot glue, duck eggs were glued to the construction, interspersed with small blue quail eggs. The duck eggs are also water carriers, in this blue Muscari flowers are suitable.
