1. Prepare the Chocolate Truffles
To begin, cut pieces of floral wire long enough to serve as stems, with some extra length to allow for wrapping a few truffles together.
Starting from the middle of each piece of wire, wrap three truffles together.
This process is fairly easy: simply wrap the wire around and between the truffles.
Bring the wire over and under each truffle to ensure they are secure.
Repeat this process until you have several mini chocolate bouquet bunches.
2. Prep the Floral Foam
First, determine whether you'll be using fresh or dried flowers.
If opting for fresh blooms, purchase a block of green floral foam. Soak the foam in water to provide moisture for your arrangement.
Next, cut a plastic container to fit inside the cardboard gift box. This will prevent the moisture from the floral foam from soaking into the box.
Alternatively, use dry floral foam if using faux or dried flowers.
3. Design the Bouquet
Now comes the fun part!
Begin by adding filler flowers and leaves to the foam to establish the arrangement's structure.
Then, add your chocolate truffle bunches, filling in gaps with greenery and additional filler flowers.
Continue until the bouquet looks full and beautiful.
4. Wrap It Up
Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, wrap the gift box in cellophane to protect and showcase your creation.
