Round Arrangements Original PowerPoint Created by Cara Kowal for Turkey Run High School Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum Office July, 2002
Step 1 • Cut 1/3 or a block of oasis, presoak in solution of water and flower food • Place Oasis in a round container
Step 2 • Secure oasis with daisy tape • Crisscross tape, offset from center so that you can insert stems • For added holding wrap daisy tape around lip of container to hold crisscross strips in place
Step 3 • Insert Leather Leaf or other foliage to define size and shape of arrangement • Pieces are inserted at top center, then 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock as you look from the top
Step 4 • Add more Leather Leaf and/or other greenery to make the container look like a little bush • This helps to hide oasis and tape • Also defines size and shape of the arrangement
Step 5 • Cut small primary flower (in this case a carnation) so that it is about even with the top of the foliage • Insert flower • Avoid long stems or inserting and repositioning because this damages the oasis
Step 6 • Insert Larger primary flowers into 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions at the base of the arrangement. • Again cut stems so that the length fits into the shape of the arrangement
Step 7 • Place other primary flowers evenly spaced through out the arrangement • Keep in mind overall size and shape of the arrangement while cutting and placing flowers
Step 8 • Add filler flowers throughout the arrangement • Make sure appearance is natural and not “clumpy” • This adds size, fills in holes, and makes the arrangement look more expensive without adding much in cost to florist
