Lesson 23 Circlet

Cream Gracia Spray Rose x 5

Hyperium 'Magical Beauty' x 5 (berry looks alike)

Ivy Plant x 1 (20 leaves)

Both 20 Ivy leaves & 30 roses use wire 22. Use 2 number of 90 wire join them together, overlap the join by 1 cm. Taped them together. Again wrap from top down. Once done, create a loop at the tip of the wire, tape it down again. Start with a bigger Ivy leaf to cover the loop. Add on the rose, Hyperium, rose...stagger the roses the ivy and so on... end with another Ivy leaf, create a hood to join the loop. Adjust the Circlet to desire shape. It's DONE.

Lesson 24 Pomander

Red Sansation Rose x 15

Sphere (Oasis Ball) x 1

Ribbon

Note: Flower that work well with a Pomander

Carnation, Spray Roses, Hydrangea...

Step 1: Tap the wet Oasis, make sure it's left to soak in water fully and not dripping with water.

Step 2: Tape the Oasis ball around cross both tape...

Step 3 Prepared the ribbon, use 70 wire. poke through the joined ribbon, use long side of the wire to wrap around the ribbon, keep both wire straight. Tape around the wired part(avoid the ribbon from getting wet). Poke the ribbon wire right through the Oasis ball, re-insert the wire back to the tape of the ball.

Step 4: Prepared 2 wired ribbon for later usage.

Step 5: Hang the Oasis up and ready for the arrangement. First start the roses from one side, one by one to go around a full circus, then repeat the same from the opposite. By doing so, it help to balance the arrangement, then start filling up with the rest of the roses, you can fill the gap with the rose bulb for more natural look. Placed the 2 ribbons at the side of the ribbon hood.

I would love to try this arrangement with other flower and other sizes too...:)
