Hi! My name is Amelia and we’re talking about building bridal bouquets. The next couple
we’re going to do we’re going to build a floral foam bridal bouquet basket. So if
you’ve never worked with this stuff before, you need to fully saturate it before you start
working with it. You just need a container that’s bigger than the foam itself and you
just set the foam in there. You don’t push it down, you wait for it to sink and then
float evenly with the water and then you know that it’s saturated like this one right
over here. Once it’s saturated, you can pull it out. One of the hardest parts about
working with these is figuring out where to put it. I find that a heavy vase, sometimes
I need to fill it with water. I haven’t tested this one out. It works well though
because you can just set the basket right in it and it hold it. If you’re trying to
work on a table it kind of flops all around and rolls back and forth, so it’s a little
bit more secure to work with it in a vase like that. So now we’re ready to get started.
