#1.
choose and prepare your flowers. cut blooms about 2"-3" from the base of the flower for enough stem to play with (i used a whole bunch of standard carnations for this, 25 stems)

| i choose to work with carnations because of their lacy petals and hardiness to the oasis form. a bloom with a strong stem is super important! |
#2.
while preparing your blooms, soak oasis heart form in cold water for 10 minutes
#3.
place carnations into your form, keeping your heart shape. it's best to begin at the 2 top points on the heart and create your V at the bottom. filling the center, finishing the outside.
my oasis heart form was approx. 4 1/2" before adding blooms, it's more than doubled in size after all the flowers have been added.
 |
| don't push the flowers too far into the form... you can adjust the shape after you have all your blooms in place |
#4.
add a sweet note for your loved one's...
a hand written note, a simple "be mine" or "je t'aime"
