Compositions of fresh flowers

A solemn bouquet of red roses or delicate daisies is an effective way to tell about your feelings.

  • fresh flowers that the second half loves;
  • floristic sponge;
  • pins with colored heads;
  • water;
  • scissors.

Heart of roses

The basis of the composition is a sponge that gives shape to the finished product. In order for the composition to please the eye as long as possible, the sponge should be soaked for 2-3 hours in water. Next, you need to cut out the contour of the future composition from paper, for example, a heart. Having put a paper contour to a sponge, the basis of the future composition is cut out.

To prepare the flowers, it is necessary to trim their stem at a distance of 2-3 cm from the bud. The stem needs to be cut obliquely, as this will allow the flowers not to fade longer. Next, buds are carefully inserted into the sponge. It is necessary to ensure that the flowers fit snugly enough so that the sponge is not visible. You can use different types of flowers for decoration or the same buds, but in different shades.

After placing all the buds on the surface of the sponge, its edges are decorated with leaves that remain on the stems of the flower. Leaflets are attached with pins. Such a gift for Valentine's Day will not leave indifferent any girl.
