Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Types of flower

Today we are using carnations but you can use any full bloomed flower.

Step 3: Cut Stems

Cut the stems with your scissors at 3cm. Always cut stems on an angle, to enable maximum water absorption.

Step 4: Arrange Flowers

Starting from the top, push the stem of your first flower into the oasis, ensuring it sinks all the way into the foam base. Continue in a straight line until the ball is ringed with flowers. Then make a line halfway around and fill in the quarters. Ensure the flowers are evenly placed with no gaps.

Step 5: Display

Gently place your ball of carnations in the middle of your table. This should make the perfect decoration for a table.
