Daisy Bouquet

Do-It-Yourself Decorating

Beginning the Arrangement

I didn’t have flowers in mind when I bought this cute little ceramic bowl. But we had bouquet around in the ugliest green-painted tin cup you could imagine; so, I decided to try and give the flowers a face lift. To start with, I cut and fitted a piece of floral foam into the crock’s mouth. Then I cut—or rather gnawed—apart the original bunch of flowers (they turned out to be mostly wire) and surveyed the assortment. It seemed the daisies should be the focal flowers, so I spaced them out evenly around the sides and top of the foam. And the leaves came right along!
