Taping a vase to make a flower arrangement

First, start with taping your vase to hold the flowers in place. Then add the flowers in, the tape will help hold the shape of your arrangement!

When you create the arrangement, Erin says to think of it as a triangle shape. It can be angled or the point can be at the top, like 3D, but always create the three points.

Raising the arrangement higher will help when creating the shape of it.

Erin also used herbs in her arrangements to make them smell good. You can also use herbs as a bug repellent! Add in herbs like lavender, lemon balm and basil to keep bugs away from the table.
