christmas gifts to hand make
If you are looking for a way to spruce up your home during the holidays, a Christmas silk flower arrangement will do wonders. The usual Christmas arrangements will include Christmas poinsettias and Christmas cactus with a healthy display of green leaves and red berries. Once you look at the benefits of using silk flowers, however, you may wish to use them instead.
The major additional benefit that your silk flower will provide is that they are economical and long lasting. In addition, they can be made before the hustle and bustle of the new season starts, as they are quite easy to make. You’ll need pliers and wire cutters to manipulate the wires of your Christmas silk flower arrangement, along with a storage container, floral adhesive, flora tape, foam, and tape.
Your container for your Christmas silk flower will need to be neither too wide nor too narrow and should be lightweight. Urn-shaped containers make a good starting point when making your silk flower arrangement. Now, select flowers of different textures to lend variety to your flower arrangement. Before you buy silk poinsettias, holly or red berries, look at their edges.
Pick edges that look fresh and natural over ones that look frayed or damaged.
From here, start arranging your flowers.
Each opening should show the true shape of the flower, which should be wide. The flower stems should go into the foam. Lengthen the stems by attaching a piece of floral wire at the end of the stem with floral tape. 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.
