Comfort Blanket

Make a thick edging with Muehlenbeckia by teasing out the bundle to form long wide lengths. To secure the Muehlenbeckia to the base use strong Mossing Pins and hammer these into the hard base of the OASIS® FOAM FRAMES® Designer Sheet. Continue until the entire floral foam edge is covered. Pour water carefully over the top of the floral foam. Do not over soak, as the tribute will become too heavy.
Ruche Organza Fabric to form a rippling river of material along the length of the floral foam. Secure this with decorative lilac Round Headed Pearl Pins at intervals; do not push the pins in too far to avoid piercing through the base of the floral foam.
Add groups of flowers and foliage to create contrasting forms and textures, blending colours harmoniously along the length of the floral foam. Ensure all stems are firmly anchored into the floral foam. Once the floral foam is covered with flowers and foliage overlay long trails of Rubus and Asparagus fern to give movement and elevation. Remove some of the fronds from the trailing fern to give a finer look. Spray with water and leave in a cool place to await delivery.
