What we love about faux-dried plants is they are soft and workable and won’t fall apart. Our faux Bird’s Nest Garland brings a twiggy texture without a delicate nature. 40″ long overall. 4 nests per piece. Loop on one end. Trim length from the bottom up with wire cutters.
FAQs, cleaning, and designing with artificial flowers
- Even though they are referred to as silk, most faux flowers such as our faux Bird’s Nest garland 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. For example, the brand name Sahara is made by Oasis. 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
- Think about this simple design rule for arrangements: Use one thriller (the focal point flower), some spillers (stems that drape beyond the sides), and a few upright stems for pizazz.
- A common design rule is to use quantities in odd numbers, such as 3, 5, and 7 stems per flower variety.
- Enjoy!
