Using these floral foam balls is a breeze. First, soak them in water until they're completely saturated. This helps them last longer and hold your flowers better. Once soaked, you can cut the foam to the size you need to fit any container. Then, just add your real, dried, or artificial flowers. These foam balls are great for indoor and outdoor use, and they're perfect for holding silk flower stems, heavy - stemmed naturals like branches and twigs, and floral picks. Remember, the item you receive is just the styrofoam ball, so don't expect any other decorations. There's not much maintenance needed, but keep them away from sharp objects to avoid damage.
