Hearts Aglow!
When hearts are warming at this time of the year, and romance is filling the air - there is an opportunity to melt a heart with this fabulous floral heart design.

This floral heart is also a beautiful tribute arrangement for a loved one. When you want to express what is in your heart, let this lovely tribute arrangement say the words with flowers.

Materials needed:

OASIS® 18" Maché Solid Heart*
OASIS CLEAR SOLUTION™ Nutrient & Clarifier

Flowers & Foliage
Delphinium
Pink Spray Roses
Stargazer Lilies
Solidago
Eucalyptus
Curly Willow
 

How to put it together

  1. Soak the mache heart in a mixture of OASIS CLEAR SOLUTION Nutrient and water. Using wire cutters, cut eucalyptus stems to lengths of 4" to 6". Insert the stems into the foam at a 45 degree angle, layering for a full appearance. Completely cover the foam with the eucalyptus, following and enhancing the heart shape.
  1. Trim the curly willow with wire cutters to lengths of 12" to 24" and insert into the foam. Loop the willow to emphasize the shape of the heart, with larger loops toward the outer edge, and insert the end of the willow into the foam. If the willow is tender, use wired picks on the tip end for greater stability.
  1. Insert the delphinium stems, loosely wrapping the stems around the willow tips. The delphinium insertions should also accentuate the heart shape. If needed, secure the delphinium stems to the willow tips with a dab of OASIS Floral Adhesive.
  1. Create a beautiful focal area by inserting three open stargazer lilies in the center of the heart. Further enhance the design with insertions of pink spray roses, solidago and lily buds for a spectacular heart design.
  1. Strike a chord with this fabulous heart of flowers, no matter what the occasion.

Features & Benefits

  • Our patented foam segmentation prevents water from draining from the top of the piece to the bottom and continuously dripping. Patent No. 5,588,253

  • OASIS® Deluxe Floral Foam eliminates the need to use wire or use water picks, therefore, saving a significant amount of time during the designing process.

  • The foam is glued to a wood tone mache backing which gives a neutral accent to your floral creation.
