How to make a Gerbera Daisy Centerpiece.
July 2, 2009
What You’ll Need
3 to 5 gerbera daisies and leafs
Moss
A 3 inch block of Wet Floral Foam
Floral tape
A pencil
CathysWraps pot and decorative sleeve. http://www.cathyswraps.com
Step 1. Trim a block of wet floral foam. Float in the water and LET IT SINK to the bottom.
Step 2. Trim stems and make a 1 inch slit in the stem to help the flower absorb water. The stems are soft so make holes in the foam first with the pencil and then gently poke the flowers into the holes. Water slightly.
Step 3. Fold the sleeve and nestle the pot into the CathysWraps. Tuck the moss around the flowers.
Step 4. Tape any left over foliage to the extra stem lengths with floral tape. Make holes with the pencil and stick the supported leafs into the foam.
And voilà, a DIY Gerbera Daisy Centerpiece.
You could fill CathyWraps pots with wheatgrass and then add your gerbera daisies. Or buy a 4 inch indoor gerbera house plant, transplant into a CathysWraps pot and just slip on a decorative sleeve. How cute and simple would that be? For more ideas, check out at this centerpiece in Real Simple.
