How To Use A Flower Frog

Learn how to create a modern flower arrangement with a floral frog and artificial flowers.

Materials:
Floral Frog
Florist Clay
Wire Cutters 
Silk Flowers
Containers 
Leaf Ribbon
Tape
Scissors

Step 1: Form small balls with the florist clay.  Push the clay onto the bottom of the floral frog.

Step 2: Push the frog onto the bottom of your container.

Step 3: Trim the faux flower stems to size using wire cutters. 

Step 4: Push the wire stems of the flowers between the "spikes" of the floral frog.  Because artificial stems and branches may be heavy you can apply a small ball of florist clay to the bottom of the stem before you push it into the frog. 

Step 5: Arrange the flowers in the vase, using the floral frog to support the stems. 

If you are using a clear glass vase you can hide the floral frog with water-resistant leaf ribbon. 

Step 1: Measure the ribbon by wrapping it around the circumference of the vase.  Add an extra inch or two for overlap.  Cut the ribbon using scissors.  

Step 2: Place the ribbon along the inside of the vase and create a "tube." Tape the tube together along the inside of the container. 

Step 3: Follow the same steps as above to create a beautiful floral arrangement!
