Purple Lilac Basket

Instructions

1. Place the foam cube inside the basket.  Cut lengths of wire to tie across the top of the basket to secure the foam in place.
2. Cut five lavender stems and insert them into the foam fanned out behind the handle of the basket as shown. 
3. Insert the hollyhocks in the center of the basket slightly lower than the tallest lavender stem.  Let the hollyhocks trail over the edge of the basket. 
4. Insert the lilacs on either side of the hollyhocks. 
5. Cut apart the starflower and use it to fill in around the arrangement. 
6. Floral pin Spanish moss to conceal any exposed foam.
