Follow these simple steps to create your own Valentines Day Centerpiece:

1. Line heart shaped basket with heavy plastic

2. Cut a piece of florist foam in the shape of a heart~ foam should fill up entire basket

3. Soak foam in water and place it in the basket

4. Cut center flowers (carnations or roses) the same depth as the basket or slightly longer.

5. Stick these flowers into the foam in the shape of a heart~fill with enough flowers so no foam is showing.

6. Cut accent flowers to the identical length and fill in around the heart shaped flowers until the basket is completely filled and no foam is showing.

7. Flowers should be flush with the top of the basket or slightly higher.
