Corrugated paper
Satin ribbon
Scissors

Needle with thread
To make a basket, take a small flower pot.
We will make the handle for the basket from wire. If the wire is not very strong, you can twist it.
We will use a glue gun, fix the handle with inside pot.
To decorate the basket we take corrugated paper, in my case lilac, and a needle and thread.
We collect the corrugated paper on a thread.
With a glue gun, glue the corrugation around the pot from the outside.
We cut off a narrow strip along the length of the corrugated paper, stretch it and wrap the handle of our basket, in some places we fix it with a glue gun.
It turned out to be a pretty basket. But that is not all.
I confess, at first I didn't even like the basket, it seemed rude.
But everything changed when she wrapped the handle with a narrow satin ribbon color pink, in a circle, the baskets also fixed the ribbon and tied a bow.
The ribbon gave the basket a zest and lightness.
From the inside, the basket can be decorated with corrugated paper and other material of your choice and placed flowers.
Since my basket was intended for roses without stems, so I took an ordinary newspaper, crumpled it and put it inside the basket. Papered over with green crepe paper.
I glued the roses.

Hello, today we will tell you how to create a beautiful flower bouquet in a wicker basket yourself. Prices for bouquets in baskets are high, to put it mildly. This mini-instruction will allow you to save a lot of money and please your loved ones with a gift " hand made". You don't need to have superhuman abilities or be a florist guru to create beautiful bouquet in a wicker basket.
In creating the bouquet, we used:
1.wicker basket ( Length 34cm / Width 24cm / Height of sides 12 and 16cm / Height with handle 32cm)
2.Flower sponge OAZIS - 2pcs
3. we take the flowers that you like best, in our case it was chrysanthemums (20-30 pcs.)
4. clerical knife, scissors, stapler and tape (or duct tape).
You will also need to order or buy a wicker basket and OAZIS flower sponge. A flower or floral sponge is an artificial porous material that perfectly absorbs and holds water.
Soak your floral sponge in water from the beginning. Once the sponge has absorbed the water, it becomes very heavy, so the handle and bottom of the basket should not be flimsy.
To avoid water leakage, we lay interior cellophane or other waterproof material. It is worth noting that on our website you can buy baskets with a polyethylene insert.
We put one OAZIS in the center of the basket, cut the second into pieces (preferably larger pieces) and fill in all the empty spaces.
We choose the most beautiful and lush flower or the flower that we want to see in the center (it will be the tallest for us) and cut it to the desired height.
The height of the composition can be higher or lower than the handle, as you like, in our case we made it lower to make it easier to hold the whole bouquet.
Next, insert this flower in the center into the oasis (as in the picture). And we begin to dance from him. We try to select flowers according to colors, or just to look good (apply, does not fit - take the next one). And around the first flower, we begin to stick other flowers. Flowers need to be stuck in such a way that they are slightly lower than the central one.
If the flower is broken, do not despair, tape comes to the rescue. There is oneimportant rule while creating flower bouquet: flowers of dark (heavy) shades should be placed at the bottom of the composition, and lighter and brighter ones should be placed at the top.
When most of the flowers are used up, and the overall picture is already emerging, we take the leaves and insert them around the perimeter (the goal is to hide the oasis, and generally dilute the composition with greenery).
Depending on the type of leaves, you can simply insert them into the composition, or you can (like ours) twist them (into a tube) and fasten them with a stapler.
And the final touch is an artificial butterfly on the handle.
And voila, the basket is ready, in my opinion, even nothing. Pour water into the sponge as needed, and this bouquet in a wicker basket will delight you even longer. To create such a bouquet, it is not at all necessary to be a professional florist, it is enough to have 25-30 minutes of free time and have simple skills.

Traditional bouquets are certainly good, but a basket of luxurious flowers looks more original - such a present will pleasantly surprise the recipient and bring a lot of pleasant emotions. You can buy a beautiful bouquet in a basket in any floristry salon or create it yourself, the main thing is to know a few secrets that are used by real professionals.
How to properly prepare your shopping cart
One of the most important moments when creating such a bouquet is choosing a suitable basket and preparing it for placing flowers. Now you can easily find special products designed specifically for floristic compositions. Distinctive feature such baskets are that they already have a special waterproof layer, without which the water in which the flowers will be will simply flow out.
If you use a regular basket, then you can make a waterproof layer yourself. To do this, you need a piece of polyethylene or polypropylene film, from which you need to cut the lining. According to its parameters, the site of the film must exactly repeat the bottom of the basket, plus the walls must be completely closed. If you measured out the films a little more than you need, it's okay, you can always cut off the excess.
Why do you need a floral sponge
The next step is to prepare a floristic sponge, which experts also call an "oasis". This is a special porous material used as a basis for the composition: "oasis" perfectly absorbs moisture and retains it for a long time. Moreover, the sponge is initially impregnated with a special disinfectant solution, thanks to which the flowers in the basket can stand for a very long time. You won't be able to make a sponge with your own hands; you will have to purchase it in the store. For compositions with fresh flowers, choose green round or rectangular - the material is perfectly cut with a knife, so its configuration can be changed without problems.
Working with a floristic "oasis" is simple:
- Cut the sponge into pieces of the desired size.
- Dip it in water and wait for the water to absorb (usually it takes no more than a minute).
- Place the sponge on a napkin (towel) and wait for excess water to drain.
- Place an "oasis" on the bottom of the basket - for greater reliability it can be secured with pins or the site with a special floristic wire.
Do not worry if, after placing the sponge, it looks a little out of the basket - during the process of drawing up a bouquet, all unnecessary details can be hidden with the help of decorative elements.
How to place flowers correctly
After preparatory stage over, it's time to place the plants in the basket. Please note that creating a bouquet is not as easy as it might seem at first glance, there are some nuances here that cannot be ignored.
All flower stems must be properly processed, and perfect option Is an oblique cut. This will make the flowers easier to fix in the sponge, and there will be no problems with moisture absorption. In this case, the stems must be placed so that they do not reach the bottom of the basket by about 1 cm.The very first flower is set in the center: note that it will be the main element of the composition, therefore it should be located slightly higher than the rest of the plants. The rest of the flowers are placed around the central at a slight angle, which will make it possible to cover the edges of the basket.
To camouflage the floral sponge and the edge of the basket, you can and should use decorative grass, site leaves, coniferous twigs, and so on. In addition, this will make the bouquet look more elegant and festive. You can use any flowers, but remember that bright and light buds should be placed in the center - and dark ones on the sides of the composition.
As you can see, you can make a bouquet in a basket with your own hands, but if you are not sure about own forces or you simply do not have time, you can order beautiful flower arrangements in a specialized company, for example, in the Megocvet online store.
As you know, a bouquet in a basket will last longer than any other flowers, but in order for this statement to really turn out to be true, certain rules must be followed. Among them:
- Comfortable temperature - do not place the bouquet near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Do not pull the flowers out of the floral sponge, because it is thanks to the special impregnation that the plants stay fresh longer and receive the necessary nutrients.
- At night, put the composition in a cool place, you can even put it on the balcony.
- Wipe the leaves periodically with a damp sponge or simply spray with water to wash off the dust.
Observing these simple rules, you can maximize the life of the flower arrangement and admire it for many days.
