1. Branch-breaking fixation method

Some flower branches are stiff and not easy to bend, such as loquat, maple, pine and begonia. Some flowers have defects or difficulties in fixing, and it is not suitable to tie them with metal wires, so they can be treated by folding branches. The fixed shape of broken branches is to break a certain part of the flower branches, but not too much, so it is better not to break and be slightly elastic.

the method is to hold the branch with both hands, with two thumbs against the fold, and bend the branch with both hands. If the branch has strong toughness and still bounces back to its original position after bending, pebbles or small pieces of wood can be embedded in the bend to prevent the broken branch from resetting.

2. Fixing method by clamping branches

When the flower branches are inserted into vases, they often move and are out of place, which makes the flower arranging authors nervous. In order to make the flower technique firmly inserted in the vase, it should be solved in two ways according to the specific situation of the flower material.

one method is to use transverse branches to clamp and fix. Cut a gap in the longitudinal direction at the tail of the woody flower branch to be inserted, and clip a small branch. The flower branch and the twig are crossed, and then inserted into the bottle, so that the flower branch and the vase have three supporting points to achieve the purpose of fixing.

another method is to use straight branches to clamp and fix. The clamped branches are vertical, and the length of the attached branches is determined according to the depth of the vase. The upper part of the attached branch is short enough to tie the flower branch, and the other end is long enough to reach the bottom of the vase. This method is most suitable for long vases and Jian Jian.

3. chajia fixing method of bottle mouth

There are many shapes of bottle mouth chajia, mainly to solve the problem that it is difficult to fix flower branches because of the large mouth of vase.

when the flower branches with large inclination are displayed in a big mouth vase, a cross-shaped fixing frame can be used to make the flower branches lean against the included angle of the chajia cross.

this way, there will be no big shift of the flower branches. If the area of the bottle mouth is not too large, a Y-shaped fixing frame can be arranged, the branch base is supported on the inner wall of the bottle, and the branch waist leans against the notch of chajia.

4. incision fixation method

when using socket for flower arrangement, some woody flowers are thick and hard, so it is difficult to insert them into the flower poke seat.

in order to facilitate the fixation, the method of base incision is generally adopted, that is, after cutting according to the modeling needs of the flower material, several knives are cut longitudinally at the incision to form several small gaps, so that the flower skills can be inserted into the vase holder smoothly. This phenomenon not only facilitates the fixation of flower branches, but also enlarges the wound surface, which is beneficial to the absorption of water by flower branches.

5. Oblique-cut fixation method

In the treatment of flower arrangement materials, except the method of chopping branches of thick and hard woody flowers, the method of oblique-cut is used for general woody flowers and hard herbaceous flowers.

such as silver willow, Chimonanthus praecox and cymbidium cymosum, it is advisable to insert the flower cuttings with inclined cuts. If you insert an upright branch, you can insert the flower insert by simply inserting the pedicel downward.

If you want to insert it into an inclined shape, you can first insert the flower branches into an upright shape, and then push the flower branches in the direction that needs to be inclined.

6. The method of attaching branches

Some herbaceous flowers are soft in texture, and some have delicate pedicels, such as Fulanghua, Dianthus caryophyllus and calendula, which are difficult to be fixed on the flower socket, so the only way to fix them is to attach branches.

the method is to take a short branch and tie it with rope or metal wire at the base of the flower technique to expand the contact surface between the flower branch and the flower socket, so that the flower branch is not prone to lodging when inserted into the flower socket.

If there are hollow or loose plants, such as calla lily, reed, etc., it can also be attached to branches.

The method is to cut off a small section and insert it in the flower socket, and then insert the hollow part of the flower branch at the twig, which is also effective.

7. Group banding method

Some wild grass flowers are gorgeous and moving in color, but the flowers are very small. One or two flowers can't reflect beauty, and the good effect can often be revealed only when they are concentrated.

Therefore, when arranging flowers, you can hold them into a ball, tie them with rope or wire, and then insert them.

8. flower socket conjoined method

the size of a flower socket is limited, and sometimes it is not enough to make a large flower arrangement.

in order to arrange more flowers, you can put several flowers together and nail them with several small branches.

9. Inverted flower arrangement method

When using woody flowers to arrange flowers, it is inevitable to encounter the phenomenon of heavy flower branches and light flower sockets, resulting in lodging.

at this time, you can reversely fasten another flower socket on one side of the flower socket to increase the gravity.

1. Wire winding method

In order to support some flower branches and overcome the morphological defects of flowers, flowers can be made into spiral climbing shapes.

Wrap a metal wire with enough hardness to bend the branches and bend them according to your own ideas. However, the metal wire should not be too thick, which will not affect the ornamental effect of flower arrangement.

if necessary, you can wrap a layer of green cotton paper on the metal wire or paint it with green paint.

In this way, the bending of flower branches can be changed freely and freely. This method is suitable for treating soft flower branches.

11. Wire piercing method

Some flowers, such as marigold, celery and hibiscus, have a hollow stalk. You can choose a wire with moderate thickness and insert it from the incision or from the center of the stamen.

this method will not affect the appearance of the flower branches, but can make the flower branches bend freely, but it cannot be used for non-hollow flower branches, such as carnation and chrysanthemum.

in the process of threading the metal wire, if it is difficult to pass through the upper part of the flower branch and the part near the flower, it should be stopped according to the specific situation, or partially threaded and partially wound.

12. Wedge modeling method

For thick woody flowers, in order to achieve the aesthetic feeling of natural bending without revealing artificial traces, triangular wedge wood can be inserted into the cut of the branch to be modeled.

Wedge requires the same plant material, and the thickness and size should be basically the same. The flower school made in this way has a beautiful shape, which is satisfactory, and it is generally difficult to see the flaws, and it will not affect the water absorption of the branches.

13. Incision bending technique

Woody flower technique requires little bending angle. Scissors can also be used to cut the flower stem obliquely, and the depth of the incision should not exceed 2/3 of the diameter of the flower stem. Then, hold both sides of the incision with both hands and slowly bend the branches. If the branch has strong toughness, small wood chips can be inserted into the incision.
