Professional florists create completely different compositions of fabulous beauty, and not only specialized materials are used as design elements, but also objects such as baskets, vases, boxes, craft bags, paper cones.

Decorating a bouquet can be done in the following ways:

• Wrap in corrugated paper.
• Finish with sisal.
• Use a sisal blank on the frame.
• Make beautiful organza packaging.
• Supplement the composition with a mesh of synthetic or natural material.

• Take traditional foil packaging,special paper and film, supplementing them with exclusive elements (butterflies, dragonflies, feathers).
• You can combine all of the above options in any combination to make a beautiful do-it-yourself flower packaging. The main thing is not to overdo it. The bouquet should remain a composition where flowers are the main element, and not other decor.

2. If required, add artificial floral elements (stems, leaves, spirals, etc.).
3. Tie the bottom of the stems with satin or other ribbon. This will give the bouquet strength and accuracy.



4. Prepare the main packing material and wrap the bouquet around it. If necessary, use floral tape, tape, or a regular stapler.
5. Add decor by attaching elements to the wrapping material or directly to the bouquet.
6. Additional packaging that creates the convenience of transporting a gift can be a kraft bag or a cone with satin ribbon handles. On its surface, you can stick a postcard or a tag with a congratulation, wish.

How to arrange an indoor flower in a pot

You already know how to make packaging for flowers that are cut and arranged in a bouquet, but sometimes the question arises of whether it is possible to beautifully decorate a plant in an ordinary flower pot. There are also several ways, and the materials are the same as for decorating a cut bouquet.

Packaging from roll decor do this:

1. Cut from decorative materiala circle with a diameter that is equal to the sum of the size of the bottom and the height of the pot, as well as the flower itself, if you want it to fit entirely in the wrapper.
2. If the material chosen is wet, wrap the pot in cling film so that seeping moisture does not spoil the beauty.
3. Put the pot in the center of the wrapping circle, tuck the material up and form it into even folds around the entire perimeter of the pot.
4. If desired, you can use any additional decor.

The flower pot is easy to hide in a beautiful box. Work like this:

1. Take a flower and wrap the pot with cling film as in the previous method.
2. Get a suitable box or make your own out of cardboard.
3. Cut a hole in the lid according to the diameter of the pot.
4. Place the flower in the box so that the pot is not visible.
5. Use decor at your discretion.

So, DIY packaging for flowers can be made very beautiful and original. You will not only save on gift wrapping in the store, but you will also be able to show your creativity and develop a unique floral arrangement design.
