The Ties That Bind...& The Wonders of Bleach

Spring has sprung, and so have some of my favorite flowers. I love bright colored bouquets of Garden Roses, Dahlias, and Peonies, (just to name a few).

What really frustrates me is that when I put beautiful bouquets of flowers in a vase, they some how never look quite like they did when I bought them. So I did a little research and found a few tricks to keep them beautiful and vibrant!

Tip #123 The Ties That Bind...& The Wonders of Bleach

To keep the ever so lovely shape of a beautiful bouquet of flowers first position them the way you want them to look in the vase. 

Next wrap a clear plastic hair tie like Scunci Poly Bands,

 around the stems to keep them secure, then place the flowers in a vase!

Now that the flowers are placed perfectly in a vase how do you keep your stunning bouquet from looking drab and wilted after a few days?

Take the flowers out of the vase and snip the ends diagonally. Clip the leaves off the stems that may be submerged once they are in the vase, then add a drop of bleach to clean water. Once you have done this add the flowers to the vase and you're done! 

Now you can enjoy the fabulous wonderments of Spring!
