Guide
Step 1: Floral foam preparation

The first step is to cut out some pieces of floral foam. The pieces must fit into the flower pot.

Step 2: Watering the floral foam

Next, the floral foam must be watered. Just put the floral foam into a bowl full of water and wait for a few moments.

When the floral foam is fully soaked with water, you can put it back into the flower pot.
Step 3: Cut the flowers

Use the harvest shears to cut the roses and carnations to the right length (about 4cm).

Step 4: Evergreen twigs

Next, use the pruners to cut the evergreen twigs to the right length. Again, I cut them to a length of about 4cm.

Leave some space at the center to place their the LED tea light later on.

Step 7: Prepare Candle Holder
![](https://www.lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/16_candle_holder-1024x1024.jpg)
I placed some floral foam into the candle holder. As a result, the LED tea light is a bit higher. The floral foam will be covered by some ribbon.

![](https://www.lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/18_hot_glue_gun_ribbon-1024x1024.jpg)
I cut all the ribbon to the right length. With the help of the hot glue gun, I’m able to fix the ribbons to the candle holder.
Step 8: Add Candle Holder to Flower Pot

The last step is to add the candle holder and LED tea light to the flower pot.
