Required Materials:
- A bulbous vase with a large opening or an antique soup tureen or a beautiful flower pot
- chicken wire
- side cutters
- Different varieties of daffodils and other spring flowers, such as tulips, ranunculus, anemones and flowering branches
Instructions for DIY flower bouquet - we show you how it's done:
Step 1: Cut the wire to size
Use the side cutter to cut a piece of approx. 20x20cm from the chicken wire, depending on the size of the container in which you want to decorate the flower bouquet. Tip: Cut off any sharp tips that appear after cutting the chicken wire so that you don't injure yourself.
Step 2: Shape the wire
Shape the cut rabbit wire with your hands so that it is roughly the shape of a ball. It is important that the bunny wire mould later fills the inside of the vase so that it can no longer slip. This will give the bouquet enough stability later on. Tip: place the bunny wire ball in the vase and then adjust the shape again if necessary by pulling the bunny wire apart again with your fingers towards the inside wall of the vase.
Step 3: Fill with water
Once the wire ball has been positioned well and firmly, fill the vase about 2/3 full with water using a small jug. This way you can be sure that every flower is well supplied with water.
Step 4: Arranging the flowers
Insert the individual flower stems into the holes in the chicken wire ball. This makes it easy to create a lush bouquet. You can play with the different colours, heights and shapes of the flowers to create a lush bouquet. Tip: if you want to arrange the daffodils together with other flowers, you should place the daffodils separately in water for a day beforehand so that they can release their mucilage. This would otherwise cause the other flowers to wilt prematurely in the water. It is also interesting to know that daffodils, like tulips, continue to "grow" in the vase.
And you're done!
