For those considering ways to include a more festive look to their home this Christmas season, they should consider adding an arrangement that includes a Christmas silk flower. Traditional arrangements come in a happy mix of green, red, and white fresh Christmas flowers ‘poinsettias’ and include Christmas cactus or holly with green leaves and red berries. You might instead wish to use silk flowers to reap the same benefits.
Besides being festive and beautiful, you silk flower arrangement will be more economical, and they will last longer. They are also quite easy to make and can be made ahead of time. To begin with your Christmas silk flower arrangement, you will need the following items: a container, floral adhesive, pliers, wire cutters, flora tape, foam, and tape.
The lightweight container you chose for your Christmas silk flower arrangement shouldn’t be too wide, but it shouldn’t be too narrow, either. Make a large silk floral arrangement in an urn-shaped container. In order to give your arrangement a sense of variety, choose different flowers in your textures. Two additional tips for your arrangement: make sure your colors match the room you plan to put the arrangement in and look at the edges of the flowers, berries, or holly before you buy. You will want edges that look natural over edges that are damaged or frayed.
Your next step is to arrange the flowers. As you open each flower, reveal its true shape and make sure it unfolds widely. Next, insert the stems of the flowers into the foam. Many people simply add a bit of floral wire to the end of each stem to give it a longer appearance. You should vary the size of your Christmas silk flower stems to have the prettiest arrangement. This will lend a good shape to your arrangement and add to the beauty of the arrangement.
