Dollar Tree Floral Display

Dollar Tree foam & Dollar tree spanish moss are in the jardiniere. All the greenery and flowers were from The Dollar Tree. The key to using dollar store floral bunches is to remove them from the main stem. This allows you to move the leaves and flowers which changes the impact. The salmon colored hydrangea is several stems wrapped together to appear as one large blossom. The astilbe spikes make great points of interest. The yarrow like bunches of yellow or purple are made by placing several flower sections on the same stem.Moving multiple leaves onto the same stem under a flower helps fill the holes in a display. The two greenery bunches were large and placed first. This allowed me to bend the branches outwards. Then I added flowers beginning with the edges to allow some to drape over. I filled in from there towards the middle. Then I placed thin spike like flowers to fill some holes. I would move and bend the stems as I went.
