List of Ingredients




1 consumer bouquet
1 basket (with or without handle)
Liner
3 stems pussy willow
3 artificial eggs
1 stern Krinkle Pittosporum
One #24 wire (cut in half)
2 Yards Easter ribbon (cut in half)
Moss
1/2 block Oasis floral foam

Soak 1/3 block Oasis floral foam in preservative water. Place floral foam in liner so it is 1/2" above the lip of the container. Secure into the container with pan melt glue, anchor tape, or wedge it in tight without displacing or pushing to hard on the foam.

Put two pussy willows into the foam on the right side of the basket and two into the left. Pull pussy willows up and secure together at one side of basket with 1 yard of Easter ribbon. Place moss over Oasis foam in basket.

Clean the stems of the consumer bouquet and trim stems to about 5" long. Place flowers at least 1 1/2" into the floral foam. The larger flowers to the bottom (north, south, east and west)with one coming out of the middle of the center of the top of the foam. Mix the colors and flowers--be creative.

Add Krinkle Pittosporum into the base of the design. Tuck in some colored Easter grass and artificial eggs or a bunny. Using the last yard of ribbon, add a bow.

Water daily and enjoy.
