How to arrange a stunning pot of flowers?

Hi guys, do you have flowers in your backyard? Are you thinking of a special gift and non-expensive way to give to your special someone? How about grabbing those flowers in your backyard and turn them into a stunning pot of flowers instead? Here are my simple steps of creating this special gift. I adapt it after watching Rebecca Kolls's tips.

The materials you will need are floral foam, knife, small pot (I like the clay ones), choose your flowers (I got my MIL's peonies here), 1 or 2 skewers, peat moss, and some ribbons (it was before independence day that I made this).
Step 1: Insert the floral foam inside the clay pot. Make sure to poke holes in it so it can absorb and store water. Make the floral foam fit snuggly to the pot. Let the skewer stand at the center of the floral foam, this will serve as a support in standing the stems of the flowers.
Step 2: Insert the stems of the flowers into the floral foam. Make sure they are near the skewers to avoid bending over. Secure the stems together with a twist tie at the center of the stems like the picture below.
Step 3: Place some peat moss above the floral foam to add neatness.
Step 4: Check out necessary arrangements of your flower stems together and the neatness of how you arranged the peat moss like the picture below.
Step 5: Make it special looking by adding some ribbons and turn it into a bow at the center.
This is the final floral arrangement project below:
Neat isn't it? Now it's your turn to try it.

Wow, the floral arrangement looks very beautiful and elegant. Nobody will believe that it was personally handmade. They will think that it was bought expensively from a floral shop. Thanks for the tips. God bless you all always.
