How to make a flower arrangement in a basket. DIY flower baskets

Hello, today we will tell you how to create a beautiful flower bouquet in a wicker basket yourself. Prices for bouquets in baskets are high, to put it mildly. This mini-instruction will allow you to save a lot of money and please your loved ones with a gift " hand made". You don't need to have superhuman abilities or be a florist guru to create beautiful bouquet in a wicker basket.

In creating the bouquet, we used:

1.wicker basket ( Length 34cm / Width 24cm / Height of sides 12 and 16cm / Height with handle 32cm)

2.Flower sponge OAZIS - 2pcs

3. we take the flowers that you like best, in our case it was chrysanthemums (20-30 pcs.)

4. clerical knife, scissors, stapler and tape (or duct tape).

You will also need to order or buy a wicker basket and OAZIS flower sponge. A flower or floral sponge is an artificial porous material that perfectly absorbs and holds water.

Soak right from the start floristic sponge in water. Once the sponge has absorbed the water, it becomes very heavy, so the handle and bottom of the basket should not be flimsy.

To avoid water leakage, we lay the inside with cellophane or other waterproof material. It is worth noting that on our website you can buy baskets with a polyethylene insert.

We put one OAZIS in the center of the basket, cut the second into pieces (preferably larger pieces) and fill in all the empty spaces.

We choose the most beautiful and lush flower or the flower that we want to see in the center (it will be the tallest for us) and cut it to the desired height.

The height of the composition can be higher or lower than the handle, as you like, in our case we made it lower to make it easier to hold the whole bouquet.

Next, insert this flower in the center into the oasis (as in the picture). And we begin to dance from him. We try to select flowers according to colors, or just to look good (apply, does not fit - take the next one). And around the first flower we begin to stick other flowers. Flowers need to be stuck in such a way that they are slightly lower than the central one.

If the flower is broken, do not despair, tape comes to the rescue. There is oneimportant rule when creating a flower bouquet: flowers of dark (heavy) shades should be placed at the bottom of the composition, and lighter and brighter ones - at the top.

When most of the flowers are used up, and the overall picture is already emerging, we take the leaves and insert them around the perimeter (the goal is to hide the oasis, and generally dilute the composition with greenery).

Depending on the type of leaves, you can simply insert them into the composition, or you can (like ours) twist them (into a tube) and fasten them with a stapler.

AND finishing touch - artificial butterfly on the handle.

And voila, the basket is ready, in my opinion, even nothing. Pour water into the sponge as needed, and this bouquet in a wicker basket will delight you even longer. To create such a bouquet, it is not at all necessary to be a professional florist, it is enough to have 25-30 minutes of free time and have simple skills.

An exquisite basket of flowers is not necessarily a large composition that stands out against the background of the bouquets. Today, compact baskets are in fashion, decorated with satin, chiffon and figures appropriate to the occasion.
