You will need:

● shallow glass bowl or vase
● large round candle
● 1 hyacinth head
● open tulips
● bear grass
● a daffodil or contrasting flower
● florist's wire

Tip: As you need very open flowers for this arrangement, you'll be able to pick up a bunch quite cheaply.

Step 1
Half-fill the bowl or vase with water and stand the candle in the middle.

Step 2
Float the buds from a hyacinth head in the water.

Step 3 Cut stems of tulips and arrange around the candle, on top of the hyacinth buds.

Step 4
Finish off by wrapping the vase in bear grass and attaching a daffodil head at the join. Use florist's wire to make secure.
