How to put it together

  1. Using a natural bristle brush, coat the handle of the OASIS FLORACAGE® Holder with Hot Melt Glue. Immediately insert the handle into the foam in the FLORACAGE® Grande Holder, forming a 90 degree angle. Allow the glue to set.
  1. Carefully float soak the holders in a mixture of CLEAR SOLUTION™ Nutrient and wter. Cut the handle from the FLORACAGE Grande Holder using wire cutters. For added security, cut the wire into 4 inch pieces, and connect the holders by threading the wire through the top of the two cages, and twisting tightly.
  1. Green the FLORACAGE Holders using a combination of foliages. Define the 'shape' of the design with myrtle and plumosa; add 'motion' with insertions of ivy. Insert the 'line' flowers of roses, mini-gerberas, carnations, and lilies.
  1. Finish the design with the calcinia, orchids, curly willow, and additional foliages. For security during transport, seal the stem insertions with FLORALOCK Stem Adhesive. Apply by directing the nozzle and spraying the adhesive at the point of contact between the stem and the foam.
  1. Dress up the entrance to your hall or entertainment room for the holidays by placing the corner design at the top of the doorway, creating a sense of welcome and excitement for what's on the other side of the entry!
