Flower Arranging
Ask a Question
I recently went to a flower arranging demonstration and really want to start doing it (not professionally, just for gifts etc). I went online to get some oasis, and it is so expensive!
Does anyone have any links of where I could get some at a reasonable price??
PayItForward alternatives could be chicken wire, marbles, sand, plastic grids, or moss rings
and scrunched newspaper for wreaths. Temu have oasis bricks £1.17 or 8 polyresin cylinders 8 x 4cm for £2.74 alternatively hand tie and put in vase/container.
lilyflower thank you for all of these tips. Certainly good for thought. I just hadn’t a clue where to start as I’ve never done anything like this before lol
PayItForward Do you plan to use fresh or artificial flowers etc because it's different oasis. It used to be my hobby, if you want any tips I'll try and help 
lilyflower I want to use fresh flowers. I seen these little oasis that can be tied onto wine bottles. My idea was to do little fresh flowers on a bottle of wine as a Christmas gift
I really appreciate any advice PayItForward If you can keep all the stems together wrap in wet cotton wool or paper towel then cling film and they'll stay fresh for a few days. An alternative would be mini plastic wind bottles that you could make holes in near the top for arrangement and tape to actual wine bottle. Temu Value Pack 25pcs Mini Liquor Bottles - Reusable Plastic 0.85oz £3.49
Have you considered using stem test tubes covered in Christmas paper. They would be easy to tie onto the wine bottle. Amazon sell 20 for £5.99.
Pjran I’ve never seen these before 
they look brilliant! Thank you. I’ve ordered a few things to do first, but I’ll definitely buy these at some point
I’ve found the tubes here www.amazon.co.uk/CTDMJ-Silicone-Transparent-Reusable-Arrangements/dp/B0BQR4KCP3 
I am a florist thanks for the Temu tip had no idea they did it! Hope you enjoyed your course
SaveMeSunday it was just a lady demonstrating different flower arrangements - we didn’t actually make anything ourselves. But I left really wanting to make something lol. It was fabulous. I really enjoyed it
Well done you. People will appreciate it. Even more if you do it yourself it means more
Jerseydrew thank you. I hope they turn out ok lol. I have some supplies arriving today. Going to get fresh flowers tomorrow to do a trial one
