Step 1

• Cut 1/3 or a block of oasis, presoak in solution
  of water and flower food
• Place Oasis in a round container

3
Step 2

• Secure oasis with daisy tape
• Crisscross tape, offset from center so that you
  can insert stems
• For added holding wrap daisy tape around lip of
  container to hold crisscross strips in place

4
Step 3

• Insert Leather Leaf or other foliage to define
  size and shape of arrangement
• Pieces are inserted at top center, then 12, 3, 6,
  and 9 oclock as you look from the top

5
Step 4

• Add more Leather Leaf and/or other greenery to
  make the container look like a little bush
• This helps to hide oasis and tape
• Also defines size and shape of the arrangement

6
Step 5

• Cut small primary flower (in this case a
  carnation) so that it is about even with the top
  of the foliage
• Insert flower
• Avoid long stems or inserting and repositioning
  because this damages the oasis

7
Step 6

• Insert Larger primary flowers into 12, 3, 6, and
  9 oclock positions at the base of the
  arrangement.
• Again cut stems so that the length fits into the
  shape of the arrangement

8
Step 7

• Place other primary flowers evenly spaced through
  out the arrangement
• Keep in mind overall size and shape of the
  arrangement while cutting and placing flowers

9
Step 8

• Add filler flowers throughout the arrangement
• Make sure appearance is natural and not clumpy
• This adds size, fills in holes, and makes the
  arrangement look more expensive without adding
  much in cost to florist
