Flowers are a big part of people’s lives because they can convey multiple messages – from a romantic ” I Love You,” to a celebratory “Congratulations on having a baby,” to a somber ” Condolences.” Every occasion can be celebrated with flowers, although there are also many people out there who buy them simply as decorative centerpieces.

You don’t need expensive flowers to come up with a beautiful arrangements – only you ability to improvise on traditional designs to create something fresh and original.
Materials Needed
- Floral foam, P30 to P35 per piece which you may cut into your desired size
- Flowers
- Fruits (apples and pears are more suitable)
- Barbecue sticks
- A pair of scissors
How To Make the Flower Arrangement
- First, soak the floral foam in water before you start cutting the flowers and inserting them.
- When the foam has soaked up enough water, start cutting the flowers first (keep a variety of short and long stems with slanted tips) and distributing them evenly on the foam. Push the stems firmly into the floral foam to keep the form of your centerpiece.
- Mount the fruits on barbecue sticks and then attach them to the foam. Place the filler flowers (like baby’s breath) last. Your goal in this last step is to make sure there are no glaring empty spots while still leaving a bit of breathing room around each flower.
