It Takes Tulip

Step 1

Using photo as a guide, trim tulips to two different lengths that will work for your trunk— you’ll need longer stems for back of trunk and shorter ones for front. Tip: Keep leaf portions of stems to use as filler.

Step 2

Glue foam bricks into trunk.

Step 3

Cover foam bricks with moss, using floral pins to secure.

Step 4

Starting with back 1/3 of container, insert longer stems into foam as desired. Tip: To achieve a more natural look, stagger flowers as shown. Avoid evenly spacing.

Step 5

Working toward front of container, insert shorter stems into foam as desired. When all stems have been placed, adjust heights as necessary for desired look.

Step 6

Fill in empty spaces with blossom sprays and reserved leaf portions.
