The OASIS® Bioline 3D Football is to great a shape to keep just for the close of play.

So Daniel created a humdinger of a design where the football is transformed into a beautiful shimmering

globe to hold four Advent candles. Use a group ofstrong stub wires wrapped with Metallic Wire to form the

candleholders, for security divide the wires into four toglue into the floral foam.

Spray the base of the OASIS® Bioline 3D Football withmatching paint and then glue and pin pieces of gold

Double Sided Metallic Tissue Paper in random patternsto each side of the ball. Make a garland style design

through the middle of the ball with Peppercorns, CrabApples, Rosehips and Chillies and finish with a lavish

topping of purple Phalaenopsis Orchids.

InsideOUTThese versatile Christmas planters can be used for outdoor displays in a porch

or on a doorstep to welcome guests or they would look equally good usedindoors over the Christmas season.

Displaying a range of differing designs in the shop all linked by the use of one type of containerwill add to sales appeal, and the customers could walk out with several arrangements as

impulse takes control of the wallet.

The Natural Wood Round Bowls come in three different sizes with sturdy waterproof liners.Plant mixed varieties of conifers and white Cyclamen then have fun decorating the planters in

different ways with Rustic Grapevine Wire hats, Cinnamon Stick hedges, groups of chunky PineCones, stars and warm, woolly balls. For the greatest effect make a wintery display outside the

In addition to the 3 Steps to Fresh, it is critical to give the correct dose of flower foodto prolong the life of the flowers. There is a recommended dosage for OASIS®

Floralife® Flower Food which mixed with the correct amount of water will benefit thelongevity of fresh cut flowers significantly. The expert scientists at Floralife® areconstantly researching their products and tests show that twice the recommendedamount of flower food will have a negative effect on flowers and cause leaf damage.

This is where the OASIS® Floralife® Dosing System, that is speciallydesigned to regulate the dosage of flower food, is essential. Ittakes the guess work out of measuring. Easy to install in the shop,a fresh water source is connected to one end of the system,which then draws the concentrated OASIS® Floralife®

solution, mixes it with the correct amount of water,and then dispenses it through a hose and wand.This is the perfect solution, no mistakes, longerlasting flowers and a cost effective treatment!

The great news is that for a limited periodOASIS® Floral Products are offering the 3Steps to Fresh products along with anOASIS® FLORALIFE® Dosing Unit(including installation) for a very special price. To find out more please contact our Sales Team on 0191 417 5595 for further details.

3 Steps to fresh!

Applying professional standards and techniques when itcomes to flower care is vital, floristry skills are not

enough, expert organization, high-quality cleanliness andspecialist flower care all works hand in hand with floraldesign talent. Try this 3 step plan for maximum flower

lasting qualities.

There is a simple 3 step plan to professionalflower care. It’s an insurance policy for florists to

guarantee that flowers and foliage last thelongest possible time for customers.

STEP 1 – SANITATION: There’s nothing worse than the pong of dirty flower buckets, nastyto smell and look at and what’s more harmful to the flowers.Proper sanitation is an integral part of flower care and handling.Bacteria and fungi build up fast in dirty buckets and can penetratethe flower stems. This means the water carrying tubes in thestems become clogged with slime and cause premature wilting.OASIS® Floralife® Cleaner has triple action, it disinfects, cleansand deodorizes. It also builds up a residual effect that keepsbuckets fresh for days after the initial cleaning.

STEP 2 – HYDRATION & NUTRITION: Hydration in a flower shop means giving flowers water the minute they arrivefrom the grower or wholesaler. Often the florist has no idea what sort oftreatment the flowers have been given by the grower and when flowers arrive dry

packed they need immediate attention. By using a storagesolution the speed the flowers take up water is enhancedand perfect crispness results. Waiting for flowers to takeup water can mean hours of delay, but with OASIS®

Floralife® 200 Clear Storage Solution, the process isspeeded up and stem blockages are removed. Recuttingthe flower stems and using a storage solution is a greatstep to maximum flower care.

STEP 3 – CUSTOMER CARE: Educate customers to enjoy their flowers for longer with theaddition of an 10g OASIS® Floralife® professional cut flowerfood ‘take-home’ sachet. The solution stays clear when addedto the water and helps to keep flowers fresh, providingadditional value. OASIS® Floralife® 10g Flower Food Sachetscan be added to one litre of water and can be used for cutflower storage, vase solutions and floral foam soaking.

PerformanceHIGH

This towering arrangement is a unique way to use an OASIS® Ideal Floral FoamNetted Garland.

A cane construction housed in a Large Tall Glass Cube keeps the Garland stable, and it’s the perfectsolution when tall slender designs are required. The OASIS® Ideal Floral Foam Netted Garland has anet covering to give extra security to the flowers and foliage, plus it can be easily cut to the requiredlength. To make this lofty design follow Daniel’s easy instructions.

Step 1Take two canes the same length as the OASIS®

Ideal Floral Foam Netted Garland and secure thecanes firmly to either side of the floral foam atintervals. Use Pot Tape to bind tightly over thecanes and floral foam to make the Garland rigid.Cover the back and sides of the floral foam withFinland Moss using Mossing Pins to secure.

Step 2Ensure the Finland Moss covers the entireback and sides of the floral foam and coversthe canes leaving a channel of floral foam atthe front for the flowers and foliage. Bind overthe Finland Moss with Metallic Wire for a neatflat appearance. Wet the Garland but do notover soak, as this will make the structure tooheavy.

Step 3Add well-conditioned Conifer andevergreens in random patterns throughoutthe length of the Garland. Remove any pineneedles from the base of the Conifer stemsfor secure insertion into the floral foam. Tosupport the Garland make a tapering canestructure as tall as the Garland by firmlybinding four tall canes at equal distancestogether with three cross supports. Place

the cane support into a heavy Large Tall Glass Cube and fill withchippings or stones for additional weight and security. The Garland willsit safely between the pronged cross supports. Add groups ofPhalaenopsis Orchids and Lotus Heads then finish by gluing in placedried materials or baubles if desired.

Bespoke coffin decoration is becoming increasinglypopular when families want to honour a loved one in a

special way.

Custom made decoration is time consuming and expensive andso must make an impressive statement. There will be many

discussions with the bereaved family plus a visit to the chapel ofrest to attach the designs securely; all this must be reflected in

the price.

Natural woven coffins lend themselves to decoration and herethe sides of the coffin are garlanded with OASIS® Bioline HalfRings decorated in a pretty feminine colour harmony and tied

with organza ribbons.

The top oblong shaped spray made on an OASIS® Bioline Double Raquette is encased with Organza Fabric and continues the

mixed pink and cream colour scheme with Ivy trails woventhrough, elongating the design.

freshdesigner tips

• Cut a slither of floral foam from the base of each half sphere so that they sit without rocking.

• When using fresh materials wrap the OASIS® Ideal Floral Foam Sphere bowls with a plastic covering for protection before encasing with wool, and then wet, but do not over soak, the floral foam.

The jewel colours of this dramatic table setting for two give anew twist to Christmas dining.

Textured wool bowls are set on shimmering lilac Square Mirrored Plates thatreflect the dazzling colours of red, purple and shocking pink. Daniel shows anew way to use OASIS® Ideal Floral Foam Spheres in an artful way by cuttingSpheres in half to make bowls, and then binding them with wool.

Each individual arrangement is different yet incorporates the samecombinations of flowers and foliage for continuity. This style of table design isflexible and can stretch to make a long floral centerpiece with multiplearrangements, and guests can each take home a unique Christmas gift. 7cmOASIS® SEC Dry Foam Spheres are used for the wool covered balls.

Step 1Take a few Cinnamon Sticks (3 to5 depending on their diameter)and using two colours of MetallicWire bind the Cinnamon Stickstogether in the centre making adecorative band.

Step 2Attach the Cinnamon Sticks tothe plastic plate on the WrapWristlet with hot glue and thenglue two pieces of Conifer to thetop. Glue together a star and Ivyleaf then top with a smallPhalaenopsis head. Glue thesein place over the Conifer.

Step 3Finish off with a length of wool orribbon. Bind the ends of thewool with Metallic Wire. In thecentre of the length of wool pusha Round Headed Pearl Pin, tosecure, glue to the CinnamonSticks. Thread the napkinsthrough the Wrap Wristlet onarrival at the venue.
