To get a flower frog to stick securely in a vase, it’s important to follow a few simple steps. First, make sure your vase is clean and dry. Any moisture or residue in the vase can prevent the floral putty from adhering properly.
Once you have a clean and dry vase, take your flower frog and gently press it into the center. The flower frog is a small, spiky device that helps to hold the stems of your flowers in place. It usually has a flat base or a series of spikes that allow it to stand upright in the vase.
When pressing the flower frog into the vase, be careful not to use too much force. You want it to be secure, but you don’t want to damage the vase or break the flower frog. Gently but firmly press it down until it feels stable.
Now, let’s talk about the floral putty. This is a sticky substance that helps to hold the flower frog in place. It usually comes in small squares or strips and is often included with the flower frog when you purchase it.
To use the floral putty, take a small piece and knead it in your hands to warm it up. This will make it more pliable and easier to work with. Once it’s soft and sticky, press it onto the base of the flower frog.
Next, carefully place the flower frog with the floral putty into the center of the vase. Press it down firmly to ensure it sticks. The floral putty should adhere to both the flower frog and the inside of the vase, creating a secure bond.
If you find that the floral putty is not sticking well, it may be because there is still moisture in the vase. In this case, remove the flower frog and dry the vase thoroughly before trying again. It’s important to have a clean and dry surface for the floral putty to adhere to.
In some cases, the floral putty may lose its stickiness over time. If this happens, simply remove the flower frog, clean off any residue, and apply a fresh piece of floral putty. This will ensure that your flower frog stays securely in place.
Getting a flower frog to stick involves ensuring a clean and dry vase, gently pressing the flower frog into place, and using floral putty to create a strong bond. With these steps, you can enjoy beautiful flower arrangements with confidence and stability.
