Christmas tree alternative
A simple wooden disc has a wire –
end as a central point, around which is a
prop of silver-colored aluminum wire processed
with the crush technique – kneading a number of meters
of wire into the correct shape. Numerous
decorative materials can be incorporated into this
alternative mini Christmas tree: small
Christmas balls, pine cones, Tillandsia leaf and Alocasia leaves.
Rose circle
The base of this object is a wooden MDF ring. Threaded ends are drilled into it,
which are first wrapped with paper wire from Smithers Oasis. To create
sturdiness in the construction, an iron ring with the same diameter is placed.
The threaded ends are attached to this, also with paper wire. A water vial is attached to each threaded end.
This makes the wreath cylindrical. Avalanche roses are placed in the vials, interspersed with mini Zantedeschia - a
fine flower to work with, strong and very flexible. The stems are curved
and incorporated, creating a lot of depth and tension in this object.
Enclosed
The base of this bouquet is made of a polystyrene hemisphere from which a ring has been
cut. Prepared leaves are glued onto the polystyrene with hot glue. A layer of bullion wire
is wrapped around this. This is decorative, but it also ensures that
the leaf stays nicely within the shape everywhere. The Avalanche Peach rose colors beautifully
with the leaf and with the beautiful brown Tillandsia flowers. For a surprising effect,
these are placed asymmetrically between the roses.
Rose bowl
Working with candle wax creates a beautiful 'frozen' winter atmosphere. Moreover,
it works quickly and consumers almost always find it beautiful. The base of
this rose bowl is a half styrofoam ball containing bio floral foam from
Smithers Oasis. The Avalanche roses are tightly arranged in it. To break up the tight
whole, two beautiful snowberry branches are placed with some silver-colored bullion wire wrapped around the
stems as small details.
Strong together
A series of multiple sizes sells better in the flower shop than a single item. People
like to have a choice in terms of size and budget. These rings already have a nice base on which
they stand, and are quick to arrange.
The rings are tightly wrapped with gold-colored bullion thread – which is both decorative and
technical here because all the processed materials are attached to it. All dried and preserved
materials have a long shelf life, with the exception of the white mini Phalaenopsis.
Cylinder
The base for this cylindrical table piece is a Bio cake form from
Smithers Oasis. A number of elastics are placed around this.
Sticks can be clamped between the elastics and the floral foam. These
sticks are, with the correct quantity, cut off at the same length at the same time
– a quick, easy technique with which branches or sticks can be processed in a beautiful way, and possibly
well in advance. For the arrangement, beautiful white Avalanche roses are simply processed.
