Christmas Decorating With Flowers By: je Dunn

Many people have trouble decorating for the Christmas season, but a Christmas silk flower arrangement is a way to give your home a cheerful boost. Typically, Christmas arrangements come in a mixture of green, red, and white Christmas flowers (poinsettias) along with Christmas cactus or holly and green leaves and red berries. You might wish to use silk flowers instead of the traditional arrangements, however, as they offer several additional benefits.

Unlike traditional arrangements, your silk flowers will last longer and be far more economical, while still being beautiful. In addition, they can be made before the hustle and bustle of the new season starts, as they are quite easy to make. In addition to a container and floral adhesive, you must also have a pair of pliers, wire cutters, flora tape, foam, and tape to make your Christmas silk flower arrangement.

The lightweight container you chose for your Christmas silk flower arrangement shouldn't be too wide, but it shouldn't be too narrow, either. Urn-shaped containers make a good starting point when making your silk flower arrangement. Now, select flowers of different textures to lend variety to your flower arrangement. When purchasing your poinsettias, berries, or holly, you'll want to purchase items that give the room a festive look, and in doing so, make sure you look at their edges. You will want edges that look natural over edges that are damaged or frayed.

From here, start arranging your flowers. A wide opening is desirable, as it will help you show the actual shape of the flower. The flower stems should go into the foam. Floral wire at the end of each stem will allow you to lengthen the stems. Every Christmas silk flower arrangement should have variety in the stem sizes. Your arrangement will then have added beauty and shape definition.
