For this particular recipe, the following products are needed:
- 1 4" Oasis Netted Sphere
- 1 Floral Knife
- Crystal Clear Flower Food
- 2 pink spray roses
- 2 standard peach roses
- 3 white bouvardia
- 1.5" Double Faced Satin Ribbon
- 3 lavender matsumoto asters
- 3 purple matsumoto asters
- Finishing Touch Flower Sealant
- Floralock Flower Adhesive
First step is to allow your Oasis Netted Sphere to float soak in water that has been treated with a professional flower food. Remember that the larger the ball, the heavier it is to carry. To create a larger bouquets, lengthen them an inch or two longer. Use the smaller 3" balls for flower girls so their flower pomander is lighter.

Finishing Touch is a flower sealant that locks in the moisture in the flower petals. With air conditioning and home refrigerators, moisture is pulled out of the air. Finishing Touch helps slow down that transparency process.
Floralock comes with a long straw that is fitted in between the flower stems and short bursts of adhesive is sprayed where the stems enter the foam. This locks the stems in place.
Be sure to saturate your foam again if needed. Fresh flowers are living and will pull moisture out of foam every day. Just like a flower vase, you need to replenish the water as the flowers use it.
