Using a paintbrush carefully paint the front of your vase. Your vase will need two coats of paint. Make sure to use long strokes to evenly cover your vase

Once the front of your vase has dried use a round sponge brush to paint dots on the backside. This adds a fun pattern that you will see through your vase table number.

Once your vase has dried it is time to create your floral arrangement. Using floral tape grid the top of your vase. This grid will help you create an attractive floral arrangement and will hold the flowers in place if you need to move your vase

Begin your floral arrangement by placing the greens in the center squares of your grid. Then add in your largest flower to the same center squares. Adding the largest flowers in first will help establish the height and shape of your arrangement. Fill the outside squares of your grid with two to three different types of smaller flowers.
