A collection of flower arrangement techniques (Part 2)

Wire winding method

This method can provide support for the flower branches and overcome certain defects in the flower branch shape. Use a metal wire of sufficient hardness to wrap around the flower branches according to your own ideas, but the metal wire should not be too thick so as not to affect the ornamental effect of the flower arrangement. For a more aesthetic effect, you can wrap the wire with green tissue paper or paint it green.

Wire threading method

This method is suitable for hollow flower branches, such as celery, marigolds, gerberas, etc. Choose a wire of appropriate thickness and insert it from the incision or the center of the stamen. If the part near the flower is difficult to penetrate, you can handle it flexibly according to the situation, either not completely penetrating the flower branch, or partially passing through the center and partially wrapping it.

Wedge molding

This method is suitable for rough woody flowers. You can use triangular wedges to insert into the cuts of the branches to achieve natural beauty without revealing any artificial traces.

Cutting and bending method

If the bending angle required by the flower branch is not large, you can use scissors to cut the branch obliquely. The depth of the cut should not exceed 2/3 of the branch diameter. Slowly bend the branch with your hands.

Leaf rolling method

Flowers like indigofera and smilax can change their original shape by curling. You can take a leaf, spread it out, and use a thin stick to roll it from the tip to the stem until the leaf still has a certain degree of curl after you let go.

Circle Leaf Method

For leaves with petioles and soft surfaces, such as indigo leaves and ginger leaves, you can take a leaf, bend it, poke a small hole at the tip of the leaf, and then pass the petiole through.

Support shaping method

First prepare the metal wire and transparent tape, then lay the leaf flat face down, attach the metal wire to the edge of the central vein, and then stick it with transparent tape.

Leaf deformation method

This method is suitable for plant leaves with wide leaves and hard texture, such as palm leaves and iron tree leaves. The leaves can be trimmed into round, fan-shaped and other shapes.
