Oh-So Simple

Materials
•Simple vase with small opening
•Florist wire
•Mini white carnations
•Stem of eucalyptus

Smaller flowers staked to a tall stem adds vertical interest to arrangements. Gather a few mini carnations with a sprig of sweet-smelling eucalyptus, and use medium-gauge florist wire to wrap the bundle. This creates a simple, elegant, and artistic presentation.
