55. Warm-up What are the steps to designing a circular arangement?

56. Lesson Essential Question How do we create a corsage & boutonniere?

62. Hook Method Composite (daisylike) florets Asters, black-eyed susans, daisy chrysanthemums, etc 1. cut stem to ½ inch of calyx, strip any leaves

63. Hook Method 2. insert end of 6 inch 22 gauge wire in stem & up flower 3. bend wire into a hood ¼ inch long 4. slowly & gently pull wire back through flower or until it catches in top of calyx & is not visible

64. Hook Method 5. tape flower, starting high on calyx & continue down stem

65. Piercing method 1. remove stem ½ inch below calyx & pierce calyx halfway down, pull wire through to ½ the length of wire 2. bend wire down on both sides, do not wrap 3. tape flower Used for: roses, carnations, etc

66. Clutchwire method Used for: gladiolus, camellias, garden, football & spider mums 1. take 8 inches of wire & fold in half, place fold around calyx & stem of flower
