About this title

Synopsis

Decorating the home with floral displays is becoming increasingly popular, this step-by-step guide to flower arranging shows that there is no need to purchase expensive and short-lived displays, as it is possibe to make lasting, effective decorations at home, for a fraction of the cost. The guide is packed with ideas for easy-to-make displays which require no floristry skills. Fruits, grasses and foliage in particular are used in simple, original ways to prove that it is not always neccessary to use flowers to make a style statement. Many of the projects make use of the large and inexpensive range of artificial products now available, either on their own or combined with fresh items. Projects such as candle pots with artificial berries or an artificial harvest wreath can look real, last all the year round, and be used time and time again. Others make ideal party decorations, but all are quick to make. Each project is described step by step and accompanied by detailed pictures and there are also sections covering the basic techniques and advice on choosing materials. In addition to the beginner, the guide is also suitable for the experienced flower arranger who is looking for original designs and new ideas.
