Starting at the top of the design we place a single flower. Then a circle of flowers in the center, and a circle of flowers around the base. Keep in mind that although you are looking at this design from one side, it is a piece meant to be viewed from all sides. Randomly place your orange and pink carnations throughout the design. When you finish with your carnations, take your poms and start to distribute them throughout the design.
Poms are a great flower for they also last well.
Because they have many flowers to the stem, you can get great coverage with them. Cut off individual flowers from the stems and place them, starting at the top of the design, working down towards the base. In this photograph you get a pretty good idea of how the poms look as we bring them down towards the container. We are placing them on all sides of the design. Next let's add some of our miniature carnations.
