Heart of roses on February 14
To give a beloved person a bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day can everyone, such a gift has already become "on duty" and hardly anyone will surprise. But the luxurious heart of roses can hardly be called a banal gift. Such a flower heart, by the way, is quite possible to make by yourself.
To make a heart of roses, you will need a base for it - a floral oasis (floral foam, floral sponge). In the shops selling goods for floristry, floristic sponges already cut out in the form of heart are sold. They can be whole or with an open middle. If you are planning to decorate the heart of roses with the car's hood, you need to take an oasis with a magnetic or adhesive base.
The second important component of the heart of roses is, naturally, the roses themselves. They are worth, of course, not cheap, but there areone trick that will help you to save. The flower shop sells roses with a short stem. For lush bouquets they are not suitable, but for a flower heart will be just right. Such roses are cheaper than conventional ones. The length of the stem should be slightly larger than the height of the chosen floristic sponge.
You can make a heart of roses of the same color, you can combine roses of different colors, for example, white and red. Together with roses, you can use other flowers with thick stems, as well as plants, for example, twigs of ivy or other green plants.
To your heart of flowers as long as possible pleased its owner, floristic sponge should be properly impregnated with water, then the flowers will live longer. You need to take a container (for example, a basin), whose diameter is larger than the size of your floral sponge, and fill it with water.
The floral oasis should be placed horizontally on the surface of the water and let it absorb the liquid itself (the sponge must completely immerse in water). Do not try to immerse the oasis under the water, so that it absorbs it faster: this can lead to dry spots inside the sponge. If the oasis is in a plastic container, it should be poured on water until it is no longer absorbed.
When the oasis is saturated with water, you can start to insert roses into it. The stems of roses must first be cut to the desired length and removed from them thorns. Insert roses need to evenly over the area of the whole oasis. If the stems are of different length, then insert themyou need in a special way. If the heart of flowers is whole, then the highest flowers are placed in it as a Latin letter V. If the heart with a hole in the middle, tall flowers - the base - is placed in a circle of the composition. The cut of the floral sponge can be decorated with leaves of lemon or mandarin, attaching them with pins-invisible.
Additionally, you can decorate your heart with rosesvarious decorative elements that you can buy in a flower shop. These can be beads or figurines of insects on a thin wire, which is also stuck in an oasis, silk ribbons, tulle and floral decorations. Ribbon, for example, you can skip between the stems of roses and tie a beautiful bow in the center of the composition. But in everything you need to know the measure: decorations should complement the composition, and not draw attention to yourself.
By the way, the heart of roses does not need to be made from fresh flowers, there are also more simple and non-expensive option. You need to make a base - the heart is made of foam plastic. It, again, can be solid or with a hole in the middle. On this basis with the help of a glue gun attached dried roses or roses from ribbons. In addition, you can decorate the heart of roses with ribbons, bows and other decorative elements.
