Using your 12' green floral foam ball is easy! First, soak it in water until it's fully saturated. This helps the foam hold water and keep your flowers fresh. Once soaked, you can cut the foam to fit the container you've chosen. Whether it's a small vase or a large bowl, you can customize the size. Then, simply add your real, dried, or artificial flowers. This foam ball is great for holding all kinds of flower stems in place, whether they're silk, heavy - stemmed naturals like branches and twigs, or floral picks. You can use it indoors or outdoors. Just remember, the item only includes the styrofoam ball, so you'll need to get your own decorations. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place when not in use.
