Snowball
- recipe by Jill
Slater |
|
|
|
|
| One-half brick floral foam |
| 1 yard 1/2 tree-inch diameter cording |
| 1 wire clothing hanger |
| Masking tape |
| 50 stems standard white carnations |
| Floral preservative, clippers, scissors and knife |
|
 |
|
|
Optional
materials |
| 1
stem
seeded
eucalyptus
|
| 1
ornament
|
|
|
|
|
Step
1
-
Soak
the
floral
foam
in
water
that
has
been
treated
with
floral
preservative
for
at
least
30
minutes.
|
|
Step
2
-
Shape
the
floral
foam
into
a
round/ball
shape
with
knife. |
|
Step
3
-
Tape
both
ends
of
the
cording
with
masking
tape. |
|
Step
4
-
Straighten
out
a
wire
hanger
and
then
tape
the
cording
to
one
end
of
the
hanger.
This
makes
it
simple
to
pull
the
cording
through
the
center
of
the
floral
foam
ball. |
|
Step
5
-
When
cording
is
pulled
through
the
center
of
the
ball,
knot
the
cording
so
that
the
ball
is
supported.
This
knot
is
the
bottom
of
the
snowball.
(Optional
- at
this
time
tie
on
the
ornament
with
cording
at
bottom) |
|
Step
6
-
Create
a
4-inch
loop
to
hang
the
snowball
with
the
cording
now
at
the
top
of
the
snow
ball.
Simply
knot
it
to
itself. |
| Step 7 - Cut the standard carnations to approximately 1-inch in length and insert them into the floral foam. It's easiest to start at the top of the snowball and work in a circular pattern. If desired insert 1 short stem of seeded eucalyptus into the top of the snowball. |
|
|
|
|
|
| The snowball
will drip water
for several
hours after
completing it.
Therefore,
initially hang
the ball in a
location where
it can drip and
not ruin
furnishings. |

 Be
good to the environment by planting daylilies. Drought
and pest resistant, they need nothing nature doesn't already
provide.
