Natural wreaths
For the base of each of these wreaths, a polystyrene ring is
used on which prepared foliage is glued with hot glue.
A layer of bullion wire is wrapped around the foliage for
decoration - it also ensures that the foliage stays nicely
within the shape everywhere. All materials are glued with hot
glue, including a number of Christmas baubles upside down
so that they can also serve as water carriers for Gloriosa
and a number of small Phalaenopsis and Nerine flowers.
Golden drops
These golden drops can serve as
alternative Christmas trees, but they are also
very beautiful as objects. The stunning bases
are made of 5 mm thick gold-colored
aluminum wire wrapped with gold-colored
bouillon wire and can be re-arranged many times.
Gold-colored Ginkgo leaves and Christmas balls
have been used. Gloriosa and Bromelia flowers
are incorporated in a glass tube.
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.
