Step 1

Start with a clean, dry vessel. Leftover flower debris creates a breeding ground for bacteria, which shortens the lifespan of your flowers, so "clean" is important!

Step 2

Use a generous amount of floral frog putty to adhere the pin frog to the bottom.听We use Sure Stik.

Step 3

Create a cylinder or sphere (depending on vase shape) out of TFS floral netting. It's okay if you need to crush it into the vase a little 鈥� the pressure against all sides will help keep everything stable.

Step 4

Further stabilize your mechanics by taping it down in a cross with your TFS waterproof tape.听
