| Rustic Décor Floral Design
|
Rustic style décor creates a safe, peaceful haven that takes you miles from urban angst to relaxing country charm. The inviting ambiance gives that warm, toasty, curl-up under a blanket feel. Flowers combined with elements of nature are a perfect complement to rustic décor.
For the topiary crazed, a topiary of Gerbera Daises is the perfect way to add a touch of color and nature to any rustic room. A colorful tin or soup can is filled with a topiary of orange Gerbera Daisies and tied with a raffia ribbon. Green moss covers the foam for a finished look.

You will need:
10 Gerbera daisies
One colorful tin or soup can
One-half brick floral foam
Two-feet raffia
One rubber band
|
|
Step 1: Fill container with wet floral foam (soaked with flower food). Gather the flowers in the web of your hand (between thumb and other fingers), holding them just under the bloom. The flowers should tuck neatly into each other. If right handed gather the flowers in your left hand. Rubber band the stems together and bring the rubber band up just under the blooms.
|
|
Step 2: Hold all the stems of the flowers in a neat bundle. Insert the bunch into the center of the floral foam. |
|
Step 3: Cover the floral foam with green moss. With raffia, tie a bow around the rubber band. This same technique can be used featuring other flower varieties such as Iris, standard and miniature Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Roses, Lilies or a mixed bouquet. Let your imagination run wild!
