How to put it together

  1. OASIS® products to be used in this design.
  1. Place OASIS Ideal foam into the container. Hollow out an OASIS SEC (dry) sphere and fill it with the OASIS Ideal foam. Add Aloe Leaves, Kalanchoe, and some Tilandsia Sinea to create the framework of your design. Work the placements from back and sides to the front.
  1. Strengthen the placements by adding dried Eucalyptus and moss to cover the floral foam. Work according to the principles and elements of the design.
  1. Now create the focal area of the design. Place the SEC (dry) sphere that has been filled with the Ideal wet foam into the focal area. Place Roses, Kangaroo Paw, Rosemary and Moss to create a fresh flower accent.
  1. This is the finished product - a striking design with a permanent feature that can be made exciting and versatile by adding fresh flowers when desired.

NOTE: Some OASIS® products may not be available in all markets, worldwide, or may be identified by a different name. Please consult your local Smithers' representative for the available products in your market.
