Witches Brew - Recipe by Jill Slater

Materials:

Witches Brew
  • Large witch's caldron, approximately 12-inches round x 10-inches tall
  • Tall liner for caldron, the liner should be as tall as the caldron and but slightly smaller in diameter. (Jill used a large vase as the liner, approximately 10-inches round x 10-inches tall. A large mixing bowl set on something to boost it to the height of the rim of the caldron would work too.)
  • 2 bricks floral foam
  • 9 black magic roses (dark red roses, almost look black)
  • 3 stems bright red roses
  • 4 stems bright yellow-green leucadendron
  • 3 stems burgundy snapdragons
  • Witch legs, if possible!
  • Floral preservative, knife and clippers
Directions:
Step 1 - Soak the floral foam in water that has been treated with floral preservative.

Step 2 - Cut the foam to fit the liner. The foam should meet the top of the caldron. Now fill foam filled liner with water that has been treated with floral preservative.

Step 3 - Except for the snapdragons, cut the flowers about 2- to 3-inches in length and begin inserting the flowers deeply into the foam. Group the flowers by variety. All the heads of the flowers should be at the same height.

Step 4 - Cut the snapdragon about 10-inches in length and insert them into the edge of the caldron as a group.

Step 5 - Insert the witch's legs at the opposite end of the caldron, across from the snapdragons.
