How To Make Silk Flowers Look Real
- Use a styrofoam bottom to stick the stems in
- Lay chicken wire or using tape, tape off the top in both horizontal and vertical sections
- Start with your largest flower and position into the middle square at the highest point you want your arrangement to be
- Work around and down from that point, layering your flowers into the appropriate sections
- Make sure your florals are spread out evenly and not bunched up into one spot
- Add fillers of different stems, beads, berries, branches, etc to give your arrangement dimension
- Want to give your arrangement a bit of shimmer, lightly spray with shimmer craft paint
- Choose a silk floral that is good quality
- Spread out each leaf and petal to create a full look on each stem
- If they are wrinkled, lay a towel over the petals and leaves and iron them on low heat
- Cut the stems so that they look real if going into a clear vase of water
- Want to give the affect of having living florals, add them to a clear vase of water
- Use the appropriate combination of florals for the appropriate season. You wouldn’t want hydrangeas with poinsettias.
