Easy Floral Centerpiece Floral Arranging DIY Long And Low

Hello everyone, I'm Ramon. Welcome back to Ramon at Home. I'm so excited you're here today because I'm going to show you how to create this beautiful crescent moon style arrangement. It is super easy to make and it's done in dry foam using all these beautiful florals and grasses and branches. It is super easy. So if you want to see how this is done, please stay tuned. Don't forget to like the video and share with a friend and if you're new to this channel, here we talk about interior design and decorating through fun DIY projects like today's to make your home more beautiful. So please consider subscribing. All right, let's get started. All right, you guys, the very first thing we're going to need is two blocks of foam. We're going to use this beautiful container that I found at one of my local thrift stores and every time I find a container like this, I just grab it because I know the fish is going to come in handy. I'm going to have a variety of greens right here as well as two viburnum that we're going to cut. I'm going to have a selection of peach roses and then also a few hydrangea that came from my local craft store. Then for our tools, we're going to use our wire cutters. We're going to use these picks that you can find at a local craft store and some florist tape. So the very first thing I want to do is I'm going to go ahead and place those foams right here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and tape it across one time. Now remember that I like to keep the foam in the container. It's a good tip I can give you because that way if the foam falls apart, then you don't have to pick up the crumble. So what I do is I just put a little tape like that and because I just want to go one way around, I like to cut another piece of tape like this and just put it across right here. So that way it stays in place and it is easier to remove and you don't have to go all the way around the perimeter of the container. That way it looks cleaner. So I like to secure it like that. Then what I'm going to do, I forgot to mention that I'm also going to use some of these dollar store moss and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go ahead and tuck in the moss in those places where you might see holes and this moss is only a dollar you guys. It is one of my favorite things that they carry at my local dollar stores because if you go to any craft store, you're going to end up paying more where there's no need for any of that. So I'm just going to put moss all the way around the perimeter to cover the holes like so. Let me show you real quick. So now we have our foam and we have our moss all the way around. Let me give this a quick sweep. All right. So then the first thing I want to do is I'm going to extend the shape of this arrangement and I'm going to do that with these branches. So I'm going to go ahead and cut this guy right here and this one is the real one to cut and I want it to be a longer arrangement so I'm going to go ahead and insert this right here like so and then I'm going to go ahead and cut this guy right about here. Like I said these are really thick stems so they're really kind of hard to cut but when it's a really thick stem like this you can cut it in sections and then just go in and cut the remaining like so. I really enjoy making these arrangements because they're a little bit more abstract than a more bouquet like more pavé bouquet style. So I'm going to add this guy right here and I'm going to go ahead and divide those. So this is going to be the shape of our bouquet. We have some extending to the sides and then I have some right here in the middle. Then after that I'm going to add just a little bit of greenery and I don't want a lot of greenery because I really want those flowers to show. So I'm going to go one to the left and then I'm going to add one to the right right here and you can just poke through that plastic on the foam. Like I said it's just the best way to do it. Then I'm going to do one right here like so and then I'm going to add one on the opposite side and these ones are pointing up a little bit and like I said I want the flowers to be the focal point for this bouquet so there's not going to be a lot of coverage on the foam. We're going to let those flowers do their thing and really show. So I'm going to try to cover this foam just a little bit like this just in case if there's overexposure of the foam that we can insert all of these little pieces of greenery like the boxwood that I'm using. I love to use boxwood on bouquets. So this is what it looks like right now okay. So then what I'm going to do is I'm going to cover right here in the middle. I'm going to add one on that side. I'm going to add one to the top right here then I'm going to add one over here to the side like so and I want them to be tucked in on the rim of the container and then I'm going to add one more on this side like so. It's going to bend down. Let me give it a spin so you guys can see what I'm doing so far. Like I said I want those hydrangeas to be tucked in on the bottom of the container. I'm going to finish doing this what I was doing. Then I'm going to grab some of these bigger stem flowers and I'm going to make sure that they point up like this. I'm going to do one on that side and because I'm on the front I'm going to go ahead and do one on the back opposite to that one that I just punched in or poked in like that. Then I'm going to go ahead and gradually go down like I'm going to put it in the space between these two right here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and poke this. If this was for retail then I would recommend to glue it but because you guys know that I use the same material to show you how to do all of these bouquets and I'm just going to go ahead and for now not glue but if it was for sale then most definitely I would say glue that flower that way your customer would be happy with the end result. So I have this shape right here which is a crescent moon and I have some tucked in and some going out but I feel like I need a few more flowers tucked in in the bottom. So I'm going to pick some of these really pretty peonies and I'm going to go ahead where there is any holes I'm going to go ahead and just tuck in flowers and to fill in. So I'm going to go ahead and poke this one right about here like so and I have a few more that I would like to tuck in. I have some roses I have some uh camellias and what I'm doing basically I'm just filling in the middle of the of the bouquet like so and having these two right here as my guide because they're going to extend a little bit more. I'm going to put one actually drooping down right here like this and then I'm going to add this rose right here I'm going to add it right here on the top like so. All right so now I'm going to cut this viburnum as you guys can see I'm going to put this bouquet to the side I'm going to cut this viburnum because I want it to extend out so I'm going to cut this thing right about here and that's what I'm going to poke onto the foam. I want it to really go down like that and I'm going to do the same with the other side so I'm going to go ahead and just give it a bend like this and I'm going to insert this guy right about here and I want this to go all the way down. All right I'm going to add a few more greens just because I have them left over and here then I have yet a few more of these cabbage roses so I'm going to go ahead and add this one like this kind of going down with it with the viburnum yeah this guy right about here all right and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to add some grasses to it I like to add a touch of grass when I'm making my bouquets because it really gives them that natural look so I'm going to poke this little grass right here on the very top into one side I'm going to add this guy right here I'm going to do two to one side and then I'm going to do one drooping down on the other side right about here and at this point I'm just going to give it a spin to see what and where like I can see a hole right here so I'm going to go ahead and add a few more flowers to this area and then just fluff them up a little bit like so and then I'm going to add one more grass drooping down on this side I think it would be really pretty so they can touch the table like so and then to finish it all off what I want to do is I'm going to go ahead and grab some of these really pretty orchids and I'm going to just go ahead and poke that orchid right about here I'm going to do two so let me add those I'll be right back with you and show you the end result all right you guys so this is the end result it is a beautiful beautiful bouquet of silk flowers it can be easily done with just a few blooms of roses hydrangea viburnum and a touch of orchids right here to make it look very elegant the branches really add that natural element as well as the grasses and I really hope you like and enjoyed it as you guys can see making a beautiful silk flower is super easy and affordable to make if you follow these few steps using the grasses and the branches really add that really natural look to the bouquet and I absolutely love the way it turned out I hope you did too if you did please give it a thumbs up and share with a friend let them know about Ramona Home and how we talk about interior design and decorators fun DIY projects like today's to help you unleash your inner designer and if you already subscribed don't forget to turn the notification bell on and as always you can watch more videos right now thank you guys bye
