Teacup Spring Florals

Instructions

1. Glue the half ball into the planter with the flat side facing up to create a stable base. 
2. Cut the stems of the lilacs and insert them into the center of the container standing about 1.5 times the height of the container.  This container is 4“ tall, so the lilac stands at 6“ above the lip of the container.   
3. Cut the stem of the lavender slightly shorter than the lilacs. Insert on either side of the lilacs. 
4. Cut three stems of ranunculus and insert them low in the front left of the container at slightly different heights.  Insert the other two ranunculus low at the back of the container opposite the ones in the front. 
5. Cut the stems of the green Queen Anne’s lace and insert them next to the ranunculus on either side of the container. 
6. Cut apart the purple Queen Anne’s lace and group the individual florets onto a wired wood pick. Lay the small groups of stems along the side of the wood pick and wrap the wire around to secure them together in a small bunch.  Insert the picks throughout the arrangement to fill in.  
7. Wire any remaining leaves onto wood picks. Conceal any exposed foam and fill in gaps to finish the project.
