The following flowers (botanical terms) and materials were used:
- Eucalyptus nicholii
- Freesia Cultivar
- Gerbera jamesonii
- Magnolia × soulangeana
- Ranunculus asiaticus
- Glass vessel
- Packing paper
- OASIS® BLACK IDEAL Maxlife Fresh Floral Foam Brick

Step 1
Cut a four centimeter thick piece from the Floral Foam Cylinder Stick. Pre-drill a hole on the side.

Step 2
Attach leaves to the edge with pins.

Step 3
Cut out a heart from packing paper. Print out message, for example “LOVE”, on paper, cut it out and glue it on the packing paper heart, attach both to the Floral Foam with pins. Push a rose through the pre-drilled hole and then place it in the vase.
