Fresh Floral Bouquet

• Floral or Stem Wrap Tape
• Floral Wire
• Hot Glue
• Long Stemmed Fresh Flowers
• Preservative Solution
• Ribbon
• Sharp Knife
• Small Bucket

• Soak the fresh flowers in a preservative solution in the small bucket overnight so that your bouquet lasts longer.
• Pull all the flowers together and loosely wrap the wire around their stems in a spiral fashion, all along their lengths.
• Trim the stems at the bottom using the sharp knife.
• Wrap the floral tape around the wires and steps tightly and leave no buckles and gaps.
• Spread out the stems to make the bouquet look beautiful and check that there are still no gaps in the floral tape, even when it is stretched or pulled a little downwards.
• Make ribbon tails at the end of the stems by attaching ribbons using the hot glue.
• Use hot glue to tack one end of the ribbon one inch from the bottom of the stem and then wrap it around the taped stems all along their lengths and then glue the ribbon at the topmost end and trim the extra ribbon.
