How to arrange flowers in a gift box?
Will the flowers be standing upright or lying down?





If you want to arrange them in an upright position, you will need floral foam and you may want to buy some floral wire, especially if you have flowers that tend to droop like gerbera daisies or tulips. The floral foam should be soaked in water and placed in a water proof base.





If you want to lie the flowers down around something, you can buy special test tubes with caps for each flower. These are then filled with water. Your best bet? Go to any flower shop and throw yourself on their mercy. They%26#039;ll have everything you need to make your gift box memorable.





The supplies you need aren%26#039;t expensive and can even be purchased at craft stores. Just be sure you get the right kind of foam for fresh flowers. Don%26#039;t confuse floral foam with the green styrofoam they use for silk or dried flower arrangements!





Good luck!
