For example, on a child’s birthday, an extract from the hospital, you can present a flower toy, for a housewarming party - a picture. In addition to living plants, you can use dried ones, as well as cones, acorns, fruits, in a word, everything that your fantasy tells you. To create such masterpieces, glue, floristic wire, sponge, spangles, beads and even hair spray are also used.

Make a toy
This composition does not leave indifferent either adults or children, which is probably why it is one of the most popular. First you need to figure out what our craft of fresh flowers will look like: what kind of animal it is, what size it is, in what position it is. The option for lovers - the heart - everything is very simple, but very romantic. Now you need to buy an oasis (such a special sponge where flower stems are stuck) and the plants themselves. Using a sharp clerical knife, we cut out the figure from the sponge of the desired shape, this will be the basis of the composition. It must be placed in a container with clean water so that the material is nourished. We cut the flowers, leaving a stem of 3-5 cm under the bud. When the sponge swells, we begin to stick the buds into it, tightly so that the base does not appear. You can combine colors, shades, sizes and their varieties as you want, but the smaller the shape or detail, the smaller the size of the flowers should be. It turns out more beautiful, more accurate, and the surface looks more uniform. Eyes, ribbons and a nose (if provided by the idea) can be bought in advance in the sewing accessories department.
