Decorating for 4th of July, add a child’s pinwheel to a decorative water bottle with your red, white, and blue floral selection for a playful arrangement.
            You will need:
                             Decorative water bottle
                             Child’s Pinwheel
                             Bag of Marbles
                             Waterproof Floral Tape
                             Red, White, & Blue Flowers

To begin this arrangement, prepare the water bottle to prevent it from tipping over. Add weight to the bottom of the bottle by filling the bottle with marbles. Add marbles about half way in the bottle. Fill the bottle with water prepared with floral preservative.

For this arrangement, I selected red roses, white daisy pom-poms, and blue statice for the bud vase.  I began by placing a rose close to the rim of the bottle. Add a second rose taller and behind the first rose. Add the white daisy pom-poms throughout the roses. Add blue statice in between the roses and white daisies.
​
To add the pinwheel to the arrangement, I wanted to make it taller. I achieved this by taping the straw of the water bottle to the bottom of wooden rod of the pinwheel. I wrapped waterproof tape around the bottom of the rod, and also about 2” higher than the first application of tape. This stabilizes the pinwheel. Place the pinwheel to the back of the arrangement, taller the roses.
