    Floral Embellished Gift Box

    Project designed by Katie Killean.

    Materials:

    1 Oasis® Mini-Deco™ Holder
    1 candle in decorative gift box
    silk ribbon—enough to wrap around a box and bow
    3 roses (smaller size works best)
    4 sprigs of hydrangea
    4 sprigs sedum
    4-5 sprigs of sumac with leaves attached
    clippers
    scissors

    1. Break one Mini-Deco™ Holder off of frame and soak upside down in water with floral food for 7-10 seconds. Do not let self-adhesive backing get wet.

    2. Cut roses very short—1/2" to 3/4" stem length. Insert them into the foam.

    3. Fill in and cover the foam with the hydrangea, sedum and sumac.

    4. Thread ribbon through the slots on the side of the Mini-Deco™ Holder and place floral arrangement on the top of the gift box.

    5. Secure the flowers by tying ribbon tightly around the box and making a beautiful bow.

    Tip: The Mini-Deco™ is ideal for fresh flower arrangements and on any gift box, wine bottle, or package. Set them on a silver tray with a small ribboned box to create a gorgeous gift presentation on special occasions. They are available at floral supply stores.
