Artificial orchid


Orchids are drastically different from most any other flower you would display in your home. They have an otherworldly quality, though they are found in most climates across Earth. Orchids grow most prominently in Asia, South America and Central America and are known as the city flower in Shaoxing, China. In the United States, the artificial orchid is a popular house plant thanks to its exotic beauty. If you are looking for unique ways to display your artificial orchid, check out these fresh and creative ideas: A lovely way to display one artificial orchid stem is to take a small plastic or glass square container, fill it half-way with river rocks (available at most craft stores) and anchor the base of the stem in the rocks. If the stem is a durable plastic, add water for added freshness. Hosting a party? Artificial orchid is the perfect topper for that sweet batch of cupcakes you’re baking. Frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting and add a purple or pink silk orchid to each. If you choose a high-quality flower, it will look just as good as the real thing, plus it won’t wilt! Why not try making a wired artificial orchid arrangement? This modern and elegant design really pops, between the vibrant silk orchids and colorful decorative wire. You will need a clear column or fan vase, silk orchids in your favorite color, decorative colorful wire to match, and a pair of scissors. Cut faux blooms off their stems, leaving only a short stalk. Cut an 8-inch piece of wire and make a hook on the end. Wind it around the stalk two or three times, and repeat for every bloom. Next, cut several more lengths of wire. Wrap them around two fingers and unravel them to create spiraled wires. These curly wires will be the framework for your display. Place the first layer of wire in the face, and then start inserting wired blooms, head first. Continue by creating layers of spiral wire, decorated with wired blooms, until you reach the top. Step back and enjoy your creation! For more info: artificial flower artificial flower arrangement
 

Artificial flower are made to look natural

They don’t make artificial flowers like they used to. The technology behind today’s faux blooms ensures realistic imitations. They are a great substitute for the real thing. But that doesn’t mean the silk flowers of antiquity were not lovely in their own way.


While today’s artificial flowers are made to look natural, the old-fashioned variety were more ornate, decorative pieces, often with jeweled details and taffeta accents. Today, we’d still consider them chic fashion accessories, even though we wouldn’t try to pass them off as real flowers.


These decorative artificial flowers were part of the wardrobe of the day for ladies of the Victorian Era. They wore them pinned to their opulent hats and ruffled clothing. And they didn’t just buy them; silk flower-making was a popular hobby among crafty women.


Artisans and hobbyists alike made artificial flowers from muslin, silk, velvet, taffeta, linen and vellum. Those who made silk flowers for a living, of course, used more sophisticated tools, while hobbyists used handiwork skills learned in the home.


Using cutting tools and dyes, factory workers were able to make between 8 and 12 flower shapes at a time. There was a different cutting iron for every flower shape, which looked a bit like the cookie cutters we use today in the kitchen. In fact, cutting a flower shape was a lot like punching a cookie out of a clump of dough. Stamps used to create raised designs on flour shapes, meant to give artificial flowers a realistic appearance.


Over the years, methods and materials for silk flower making changed dramatically. Since the 1970s, polyester has been the leading material for production, and machines have, in many cases, replaced the men in the factories.
