Supplies For This Project:
How To Prepare A Door Basket For Floral Design:
- Prepare the Basket: First things first, grab any kind of stiff brown paper or cardboard to line the bottom of your basket. This helps save on costs and materials by not filling the entire basket with styrofoam. Just lay down a layer of paper to create a sturdy base.
- Add Styrofoam Layers: Next, it’s time to add some structure to our basket. Cut down some stiff styrofoam to fit inside the basket. I like to use two layers to ensure it’s nice and sturdy. Trim the edges to fit snugly inside the opening of the basket.
- Fill the Basket: Now, let’s fill up the basket! Cut down any excess styrofoam to ensure it fills the top completely. Don’t forget those little openings – trim down some smaller pieces to cover them up nicely.
- Cover Mechanics: I always want to make sure my mechanics are covered up nicely. I like to use green Spanish moss for this step. It adds a pop of color and hides any unsightly parts. Just spread a thin layer over the top and secure it with floral pins.
And there you have it! A beautiful door basket ready to receive all the amazing florals and greenery you want to create with for a stunning finished design.
