Ivy Basket

Materials:

  • 12-inch white basket with handle
  • Liner for basket bottom
  • One 8-inch needle point ivy plant (variegated or plain)
  • 10 roses in pastel colors
  • 10 water tubes
  • 1 yard of 2-inch decorative ribbon
  • Floral clippers and floral preservative
Directions:
Step 1 - Insert the plant liner and then insert the plant in the basket.

Step 2 - Wind some of the ivy lengths around the basket handle. The ivy lengths will mostly likely stay put by themselves.

Step 4 - Now cut the roses to approximately 4-inches in length and insert them into the water tubes.

Step 5 - Insert the water-tubed roses into the ivy plant.

Step 6 - Tie the decorative ribbon around the handle of the basket.
