Step 1
Spray stems, leaves, seed-
pods and blooms of seeded
Eucalyptus and Eryngium, as
well as four branches, stems
of river cane or bamboo,
dowels, or sticks (two tall,
two short), with Antique Gold
Colortool
®
Spray.
Step 2
Fill an 8-inch-tall clear
glass vase with properly
proportioned flower nutrient
solution. Arrange stems of
seeded Eucalyptus, painted
and green, as well as stems
of croton leaves into the vase,
to create an armature/grid
of stems through which to
arrange the flowers.
Step 3
Arrange roses, Gerbera,
umbrella palm and
gold-painted Eryngium
into the vase.
Step 4
Create a trellis-like structure
with four branches, stems
of river cane or bamboo,
dowels, or sticks—two tall,
placed vertically, and two
short, placed horizontally.
Bind the pieces together at
the four intersections where
they cross with gold bullion
wire. Place the structure into
the vase, near the back of
the design.
Step 5
Place any combination of small botanical materials—Hypericum berries;
small Eryngium blooms; miniature pine, spruce or hemlock cones; and/or
Eucalyptus seeds—into two clear acrylic fillable ball ornaments. Attach
the two ornaments to the trellis structure with gold bullion wire.
