How to create outdoor flower baskets from silk flowers?

HI


I would like to create a few flower arrangements from silk flowers for use outside on deck and porch to compliment the real flowers. I have been pretty successful when displaying in vases (although I have to regularly dump out rainwater) but I%26#039;d like to create arrangements like flower baskets and plant pots. I%26#039;m not sure what to use to anchor the flowers in that will not be ruined or rotted by rainwater but also won%26#039;t be too heavy to lift. I know that indoor arrangements have some sort of foam or similar material but I wasn%26#039;t sure if this would work outside.





Any suggestions???

The styrofoam last a very long time and does not rot. Never have any problems doing it this way. Hope I helped you some.
Reply:Have you ever tried the spray foam that they use around electric outlets? This stuff works pretty good you should try it if you haven%26#039;t already. If your using a flower pot only that way if it swells too much you can trim it off. Report It
