FAQs, cleaning and designing with artificial flowers
- Even though they are referred to as silk, most faux flowers and stems are made with combinations of plastic, polyester and wire
- Occasionally dust your floral arrangements with a feather duster. You can wash artificial flowers under running water, held upside down. Do not fully submerge in water.
- The base stems are overly long and sturdy. Feel free to trim the length with wire cutters
- If you are making a permanent floral arrangement in a traditional container, you’ll want to anchor your flowers and greenery in dry floral foam. Dry floral foam does not hold water and offers a sturdy base to hold your plants
- You may hot glue your floral foam to your container interior, although if you’re not mailing or moving your arrangement, it’s not necessary
- Cover your floral foam with dry moss or pebbles
- Now the fun starts. Insert as many faux flowers into your container as will fit
- Be creative. Feel free to cut, trim and divide your stems into smaller parts. Sturdy wire cutters will work
- Artificial flowers and stems ship flat. You’ll want to bend and shape them on arrival
- A common design rules is to use quantities in odd numbers, such a 3, 5 and 7 stems per flower variety.
- Enjoy!
