The Advantages of Using Artificial Flower

When it comes to creating a flower arrangement, the difference between using artificial flower and fresh flower is not at all obvious and the latter actually offers many advantages. Though on one hand it may seem that using the latter is harder, due to its fake material, when it’s finally done you can be sure that the plastic flower arrangement will last longer. You can maintain the beauty of the fake flower simply by regularly dusting it off. These are some tools that you will need if you want to create a beautiful and long-lasting arrangement of artificial flower.

It’s a good idea to prepare a basket to keep all the tools easily in once place. Wire cutter is an important tool that allows you to work with the plastic flower freely, so make sure that you have this ready. The cutter helps cut down the stem of the flower to the desired shape or size – especially if the stem part is too thick.

The next tools that will come handy in your plastic flower arrangement project are the combination of wooden picks and floral tape. If the plastic flower is too small, using the combination of the two tools will help reinforce it. Likewise, you can use the two if the stem of the artificial flower is on the flimsy side.

Of course, your arrangement won’t be complete if you don’t have a dry foam ready. This is a medium that allows you to place the artificial flower accurately, as well as balancing the whole arrangement. Known also as a floral foam, this is the place that you will be picking in the stem of the flower and the wooden picks.

Lastly, you will need a glue if you want to create the perfect arrangement of your artificial flower. It’s advisable to invest more and get a glue gun with glue sticks. It is much more practical to use glue gun for your project and you will save some potential problems and headaches in the future. 

To answer the question of whether or not artificial flower arrangements are better than fresh ones, you can be sure that the technology today will put all your concerns to rest. The quality of plastic flower is now much better than it was 10 years ago. Regardless if you want to create an elaborate flower arrangement or a simple one, artificial flower can be an alternative solution.
