Supplies You’ll Need for a Hanging Faux Flower Arrangement:

• 1 Flower Basket
• 1 Delphinium Stem (for height and drama)
• 1 Blue Rose Bush (for fullness and focal point)
• 2 Blue 60919 Floral Picks (for filler and color balance)
• 1 Blue Floral Stem (to fill in gaps)
• 1 Greenery Bush (for a base)
• 1 Dill Bush (for texture and natural flair)

🎯 Pro Tip: Choose florals in different shades and shapes to create depth and interest.

How to Make a Fake Flower Arrangement (Step-by-Step)

1. Start with Your Base
   Fluff the flower basket and make sure the liner is secure. This gives you a clean, sturdy canvas to work from.
2. Add Greenery First
   Insert the greenery bush to build shape and volume. Think of it as the frame of your arrangement.
3. Mix in Texture
   Place the dill bush next to introduce a wispy, natural feel. Let some pieces trail slightly for movement.
4. Add Tall Florals
   Delphinium stems go in toward the back or center to create height and draw the eye upward.
5. Layer in the Roses
   Blue roses are your star florals—use them in the front and middle sections for fullness and color.
6. Filler Flowers Come Next
   Add your blue 60919s evenly on both sides. These help bridge the focal flowers with your greenery.
7. Fill the Gaps
   Finish the look by tucking in your final blue floral stem wherever the arrangement needs balance.
8. Final Fluff
   Step back and fluff each element. Bend stems slightly to mimic the natural flow of real blooms.
