How To
Centerpieces: Great Carnation Arrangements
Step One: The Materials
White Carnations
Design Master's "Just for Flowers"
Clear Vase
Step Two: Spraying the Carnations
Design Master's "Just for Flowers" works magic on flowers. It allows you to obtain a perfect shade to match your Party Theme. You can even layer colors and they interact together to get different shades.
I especially like to use these on inexpensive flowers (like carnations). Spraying them a fun color breathes new life into their uses. Checkout Design Master's website for tips on how to use their products. I like to arrange them tightly in a vase. The compact flower look is very popular today.
Step Three: Choose the Color You Want
You can spray on as much or as little as you want. Just make sure to keep the can 6" away from the flower and give the color layers time to dry.
I've varied the colors to show just some of the fun you can have. Here I worked with Lilac spray. I kept one with the center white, another an overall soft shade of lilac and the last a darker color purple.
Step Four: Arranging the Flowers
I like to use these in compact arrangements that are so popular today. To pull off the tight arrangement, you start with one upright stem, and then cross the next over at an angle. Continue adding more stems at a crossover angle as you go.
The Final Product!
Spraying the carnation a shade that matches your party's theme is is a great
way to take a simple flower and give it an extra special touch. The process is quick and easy and if you arrange the flowers tightly in a vase, they will have a bold impact.
