This week I’m taking another look at using a more environmentally friendly mechanic to arrange my flowers into. This arrangement uses wire netting also known as chicken wire to create a fabulous no foam design in a crescent shape.
Even thought this arrangement was created and designed to be front facing it could be easily viewed from all around, so your options for displaying the final design are limitless.
Wire netting can be reused and can be sterilised in hot soapy water in between uses.
If you are new to arranging, take a few minutes to view my Back to Basics series which will explain how to create a very all round arrangement using a minimal amount of flowers.

So pretty
Brilliant Sharon. Thank you.
Thank you Sharon, really encouraged to see many places embracing more sustainable mechanics. It's great news for our planet
Well said Sharon. Much more natural than a triangle or a line. There are no straight lines in nature
That is spectacular.
Love this design ❤️I love using the boat ship containers and finding other ideas on what to use instead of aosis so many thanks for always showing others ideas 💖
