okay I started making this video the day that hurricane Harvey came into town
and now the storm has gone so it is time to just spread color all the flowers are
going to come alive even the fake flowers in my front yard are going to
come alive in everyone's home I hope you spread the joy with fake flowers in
your front yard We are in Hurricane central right before Oh the
rains just started I create YouTube videos about ideas that just pop
into my head all over the place travel ideas I travel a whole lot
makeup ideas planner ideas pop over again soon and enjoy this video I have
learned four things about planting fake flowers in my front yard the first thing
I learned about fake flowers my first yard was proportion this piece was way
too tall for my potted plant and I could cut from above but instead I am
cutting each little segment now I've used this piece of greenery that I got
from Hobby Lobby I've used it for a year and a couple of my videos on fake
flowers but I spray-painted it just today and I'm going to separate them
with wire cutters and then only use a right proportion in each pot let's
deconstruct this fake flower pot I separated these into individual flowers
but you'll see they're so little some of them are the short portions
because they thrill in their arrangement so I have the individual ones and then I
separated my orange aren't those gorgeous I separated those but I needed
something right here so I have separated those and bent
them like one of my favorite things that fake flowers do I have bent them and it
kind of fills the space a second thing that I learned with fake flowers from my
front yard is that you do not have to use the same color a third thing that I
have learned from planting fake flowers in my front yard is that you don't have
to fill all your flowers in one pot so that they're cramped in there like all
your socks in your dresser drawer so I have kind of spaced them out I have this
the correct proportion and then my fourth one is I love adding the little
the little cranberry type beads especially in the fall anyway and then
another thing I learned about fake flowers in my front yard is perspective
when you are driving up beside my house you're going to see the side of view you
might see that side view if you're sitting on my rocking chair you're gonna
see it from this view and so it's just something to think about like what
perspective are you looking at this pot are people looking at it more like you
are like from above or are they looking at it from the front it's just another
thing to think about I am gonna add one more of these just for a little more
depth okay all right we are done with that one I'm
using my handy dandy skateboard that never gets used anymore
I love the spray-paint I did actually ditch the ferns this
year I have used those four ferns those poor things I've used them forever ever
since I started this and after I used the dull spray-paint last year when they
were a little blue and did not help so I I finally got rid of them now they are
resting in peace in a happy yard somewhere this was my favorite
arrangement and these just starburst another thing that I learned about fake
flowers in my front yard is that it's nice to have some texture and that maybe
that's because I am just a novice is that what it is when you're just
beginning I am just a beginner Fake Florist it's a new term I am a fake
florist today and a youtuber a fake florist okay so another thing that I
learned is to put some greenery in there okay so I bought this from Michaels this
is some of my greenery well I'm using greenery but I mean like
leafy greenery can you see these I kind of feel like this one looks more
real than this one but this is gorgeous just all by itself welcome to the jungle
alright so we're gonna use our wire cutters and I mean I should put the
whole thing in there but let's spread the wealth because I do have four pots
to fill up
but I love this red so I'm gonna put some more red in there isn't that pretty
right now let's change our perspective now I've got that we see the difference
in there let's put some greenery back in there now does the greenery need to be
the same I don't know I'm just a first-time Fake Florist you can get away
with this kind of green waxy fakeness because we are in Houston and it's
really humid I think this needs something down here let's do this
let's spill even more so pretty so pretty so pretty
see how it's just kind of separated but booming and love love love it I'm gonna
put one more greenery over there
love it it looks like my hair on a good hair day
all right now for this one I'm going to use some of the greenery that I had in
my old videos it's very top-heavy okay so we're gonna
make it like that and I only have a teeny tiny bit of soil in there so you
know what I'm gonna save these for the last one because I have a major soil and
that one okay let's use these feathery type flowers okay these fake flowers in
our front yard can be spread apart a little a little bit but I would not I
would not bend them okay I am going to use all the same ones like the same
color ones okay oh they are gorgeous alright so now let's put some of these
more fall looking orange ones in there okay
and it's really this is going to be kind of the same color palette
do we need a bright orange in there I don't think so do we need some greenery
in there in the back I think it would make the leopard look those feather
leopard pieces I think it would make them really POP let's see how this looks
as a fake florist I am very interested in having your ideas and what worked for
you in your potted plants so please leave me a comment below okay so this is
this next one
sometimes you have to stick the stem in the pot like that way
see how I've put it in at an angle so that's what I'm doing here because all
of those the greenery to shun it and I want that just to come up okay which is
your favorite so far when you step back and look at your fake flowers you really
notice the empty spots like these - this one it needs something in the back in
between those two greenery pieces and this one looks a little empty I can't
believe I'm saying that but it looks a little empty so we're gonna play around
with what can be added without looking stuffed or too full okay one thing I can
do is since I bought another one of this style I think I'm going to put that in
the middle okay I'm seeing too many bonds like too many stems I guess so
and then I'm going to add more of this greenery
and add these how does that look ooh okay sorry so we can add these in the
beginning all right what do you think what do you think so I love how this
fills it in just the right way okay it it separates them red but makes the red
look oh wow it draws your eyes to the other flowers don't you think we love it
and the greenery just looks more balanced it doesn't look like I put a
few sprigs of cut and greenery spikes in there all right with these do you feel
the same that I do that it needs something right here I'm also going to
poke this down I think it needs something right there and I'm going to
try a pop of orange just to give it some more visually stimulating texture I
guess that's what I what I'm going for I'm going to bend them kind of towards the front since that's
where my perspective is okay I do like this alright
that said too much and why do too much well let me look okay
and that looks like we're trying to climb a beanstalk all right so I'm gonna take
off some of those I like the greenery back there and but right here I don't
think you need this and what this red
let's see a lot of this green is pumping through it right here yes
all right now in this one I want to use this bright bright bright orangey red
okay and I want to use my little last leopard one and this is the only one
that is since it's already bending that way don't you mess with what's not
broken I'm going to try and use these okay they have a little more soil to
stick in so use those that might be a little too springy to use but we'll see
all right here's the centerpiece and I'm going to off-center it I do not have
another one in this color so I really want that to shine and pop and be one
more convinced arrangement okay all right let's see I have this way I don't
know if you remember this one this one looks a little cheap but far away it
might not okay so I'm gonna put this in the ground and I'm gonna put this one in
the ground as little like little happy bouquets I'm not going to use those
anymore
okay the proportion is off and this is a little too springy looking so I'll save
that for next spring I do have this all by itself i'll throw that in there
just in case now we need some thrill real soil as a fake
florist I use real soil I really do that because soil fills in the whole pot and
so you can really rearrange your fake flower stems where you need them to go
versus like a styrofoam like a foam green foam thing I think that's a little
it doesn't feel the whole entire bowl maybe that's what I need to do maybe I
need to take something out hmm there can be too much of a good thing right
hmm okay I think this is just fun but I'm gonna move this one up a little bit
to just give that height right there I love this spill here I think each one is
now becoming my favorite all right I'm going to show you each of the flower
arrangements the fake flower arrangements for my front yard and let
you decide on your favorite I hope you had fun being creative with me and
trying different things and I hope hope you continue to spread joy by bringing
some color to your front yard and I hope you continue to learn as a fake florist
