DIY Azalea Hanging Basket
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Looking to make a beautiful addition to your home or business with a hanging plant basket? Artificial Plants and Trees shows the 6 do it yourself steps to creating the perfect Azalea hanging plant basket.
What You will need:
2 Artificial Azalea Hanging Plants
2 Artificial Azalea Bushes
Hanging Basket
Large Block of Florist Foam
Floral Tape
Serrated Knife
Spanish Moss
Step 1:
First, we must fill the hanging basket with floral foam. Take your serrated knife and shape your blocks of foam until it fits snugly down into the basket. The foam should end at least an inch and a half below the rim of the basket so we can layer moss on top of it in a later step. For our example, I shave the bottom of the block into a domed shape to mimic the shape of the basket.
Step 2:
Place your shaved piece of foam into your hanging basket and tape it into place with clear floral tape in a crosshatched design.
Step 3:
Using your knife, cut holes into your foam at an angle. Watch our video to see exactly where we placed these holes. Two are in the center of the foam, angled at opposite directions. Two more are at perpendicular angles for the additional stems.
Step 4:
Insert your artificial azaleas into the holes you created. These azaleas have a jagged edge along the stem that helps them grip into the foam better. If you feel it is needed, you can always secure then a bit more with the addition of some hot glue, but we did not find that to be necessary.
Step 5:
Use the wire that is in the center of each branch to manipulate the individual branches of all four plants. Spread them apart until the whole basket has flowers evenly distributed. Once you are happy with the coverage you have, cover up any exposed foam with some spanish moss or other greenery of your choice.
Step 6:
Hang your hanging basket where you can show it off to friends and family. Once it is in place, give a final shaping to ensure proper balance and stand back to admire what you made!
That is all there is to it. You have just created a quick and beautiful hanging basket that will enhance curb appeal and stay looking great for years to come. We placed ours by the pool and are so relieved not to have to fish flowers out with a skimmer every time we want to go for a swim. Of course, if you are not in love with azaleas, you could fill your hanging basket with any artificial flowers you choose.

These are just so stunning...you must smile every time you come home 😊
I have a rock garden filled with life like roses and fern that look real...neighbors are amazed how beautiful they look and don't know they are not real! I'm customizing a few hanging baskets now, since your wonderful ideas are priceless! Thank you for such creative brilliance
I put potting soil and rocks over my foam to hold it in so the wind doesn't blow it away
I used to work with artificial/ silk trees and flowers company in the Philippines way back 1990's before I work as a hotel florist arranging fresh flowers. I do missed arranging silk flowers, trees and bonsais. I enjoy watching channel like this and I still get small project doing artificial arrangement. Stay safe and more success to your channel. God bless you all ever and happy new year. New subscriber, Martina's flower basket floral channel.

Ok. If I can pull this off tomorrow, you will officially be my hero!!! I'm so sick of taking care of the real hanging plants and watering them....only to have them die every year (I must be cheap and lazy but I don't care....bring on fake plants!!)

What about rain and wind though? Won't that knock qround the basket a bit and make the moss come out?How does the basket drain? Can the floral tape withstand rain?
Love this! I am assuming this is not waterproof is it?
This is ok to put outside? Will the foam holdup under weather elements like rain or do I have to bring them inside everytime it rains?
Hello,maam, thank you so much ,but pls tell me from where so I get moss grass
is that foam collects water if place outdoor?
Where did you buy the artificial azalea from?

Barbara Cordell no that is not right. The flowers are the one thing Not from walmart. The whole point of this channel is to promote their website artificialplantsandtrees.com where you buy UV protected outdoor flowers and plants. Everything else she used was from walmart.
were can i get the flowers
I really wish you had included the full price you paid for everything including plants because I'd love to compare with shelling out the $30 for a premade one online. I know that fake plants like thoses are REALLY expensive even when on sale.
