Design a Silk Arrangement in a Basket

This antique basket is so sweet, I wanted to use it to make a Spring silk arrangement.  It previously held an artificial ivy plant.

I wanted to add more texture, so I cut a few pieces off of this faux rosemary bush.

In floral design, we try to work in odd numbers.  It doesn’t always work out, but this time it did.  I had three artificial hydrangea stems so I placed them in the basket.  After I started adding the rosemary, I decided I needed another type of texture.

I cut a couple of stems off of this bush of artificial hops and added them to the basket.  I usually use a pair of bolt cutters or wire snips to cut pieces off of a silk flower bush. 

To finish the project, I made a bow out of Valentine ribbon.   While it is red and does have hearts, I think it is neutral enough that it could be used past Valentine’s Day.

The finished basket!
