Plaster of Paris anchors the sheaf of wheat in the pot, permanently.

Dried flower arrangements can be as simple as this sheaf of dry wheat held in a terra cotta pot with Plaster of Paris, says show host Kim Haworth. Here's how to create the simple, country look: - Mix Plaster of Paris to the consistency of sour cream.
- Set a sheaf of dry wheat in the center of the pot, stems held tightly together.
- Fill around the wheat with the Plaster of Paris mixture, mashing it down..
- To keep the Plaster of Paris from drying and cracking the pot, set 3-4 pieces of plastic drinking straw up and down in the wet mix.
- Once the Plaster of Paris is dry, hide it with some moss.
- Tie a raffia bow around the center of the sheaf of wheat.
