Follow the basic steps listed below to create a simple vase arrangement.

1. Cut soaked floral foam above the rim of the vase. Fit snugly into container, leaving approximately 1 inch of foam above the rim of the vase.
2. Anchor foam to container with waterproof tape. Add water with floral preservative to fill the vase.
3. Pre-green vase with small pieces of foliage.
4. If using a clear vase, pack crushed cellophane loosely around the floral foam to disguise the mechanics.
5. Place primary rose into container to establish height. This should be 1 1/2 times the height of the container. Cut each rose stem with a sharp knife as rose is placed in vase.
6. Work down from the top primary rose to the rim of the vase. For a structured look, be sure to space flower evenly. If designing a vase to be seen from all sides, be sure rose placement is balanced and round in shape.
7. Insert accent foliage into the design to complement the roses. Be sure to let the natural foliage of the roses become part of the design. Remember to remove any flower foliage that will be placed below the water line.
8. Take 3 of the pre-inflated 2” Love heart shape with Cup-N-Stick attached and place into the arrangement as shown.
9. Evaluate the design; adjust as needed to complete design
