Step-by-step flower arranging: a splash of colour

This bright arrangement will look lovely as a table centrepiece, inside or out

 

You will need:

● 25 mini gerberas, in 5 different colours

● florists' wire

● scissors

● string

● 5 tall glasses

● large plate

Tip: With plain glasses, you could add food colouring to the water to match the flowers.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 1

Set aside one gerbera in each colour. Wind fl orists' wire round each of the rest, starting at the top, and trim at the base. This stops them drooping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 2

Join the gerberas together into five bunches of four all the same colour, winding the string several times around the top to secure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 3

Fill the glasses one-third full with water and put a bunch in each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 4

Group the glasses on a large plate, then sprinkle with the flowerheads of the five you set aside.
