Instruction manual
1
To create a bouquet in a box, any flowers are suitable. You can safely choose plants that you like: roses, hydrangeas, peonies, asters, alstroemeria, hypericum and even sunflowers.

The floral sponge is cut out according to the shape and size of the bottom of the box. As a pattern, you can use the bottom of the inverted box or its cover. The cut circle of the sponge is saturated with water, placing it for a while in a container with settled water at room temperature. During this time, the required amount of film is cut out and the bottom of the box is lined in 2-3 layers. This will keep all moisture on the film and not damage the bottom of the box.

After that, the flower arrangement is collected using a floral oasis. The assembly order can be any, but experts recommend starting with central or large flowers, gradually filling up empty spaces. At the end of the assembly, the hat box is decorated with a satin ribbon or name card.

Before filling the box with flowers, inspect the bottom of the box and make sure that it is sturdy and made of thick cardboard.
