| This month, we'll celebrate the holidays with a teacup arrangement. I found a white teacup and saucer at home, but you could purchase one in elegant china or holiday mugs. It will work the same.

You will need:
Block Of Floral Foam
Three Stems Of Baker Fern
Three Stems Of Red Mini-Carnations
Two Stems Of White Pompon Chrysanthemums
Holly Sprigs
White Pine Branches
A Festive Red Bow
|
| Step 1: Soak the floral foam and cut it to fit into the teacup, leaving one inch of foam extend up from the lip of the cup.
|
| Step 2: Green-in your design with the triangles of Baker fern, as we've done in the past. Use one longer stem to reach from the back/center upwards no more than twice the height of the cup. So, my cup is three inches tall, so my tallest triangle of Baker fern extends six inches from the lip of the cup. Continue filling in the top and front of the cup with Baker fern, using progressively smaller triangles toward the front. |
| Step 3: Use your red mini-carnations to make triangles (the blooms are the points of the triangle). Fill in larger spots with the larger white mums.
|
| Step 4: Add your accents.•I added some pine boughs and holly springs and a nice red bow. |
