Sweetheart

Soak the OASIS® FOAM FRAMES® Heart and then drain off any excess water. Tie two lengths of Double Face Satin Ribbon at the top of the heart knotting securely. Ensure the ribbon is strong enough to hold the heart and the flowers in place without the ribbon breaking. Pin in place looped Aspidistra and Cordyline leaves around the edge of the heart and fill in with Ruscus. Spray the leaves with OASIS® Floralife® Leafshine for a glossy effect.
Place groups of Roses at intervals around the heart pushing the stems firmly into place. Use Daucus and Hypericum between the Roses ensuring the heart shape is kept. Its best to assemble the heart whilst hanging, care must be taken if making on the workbench to achieve a well-balanced design.
Fill in the heart with more Roses, Gerbera and Eustoma until a lush look is achieved. Loop three Callas Lilies to one side. Thread Hypericum Berries onto Steel Grass and attach little Bullion Wire hearts. Push the Steel Grass into the base of the heart to create interesting trails. Hang in the workroom to allow any excess water to drip out before hanging in position on a door.
