Performance Task:
Make a unique floral design out of the given two types of floral design

Learning Task:

1. Prepare a small rigid box, cellophane, scissors and florist foam.2. Soak the florist foam thoroughly, popping it into a sink full of water.3. Line the box with a large single piece of cellophane and cut the foam to shape, fitting it snugly into the box.Be careful not to squash or press down on the foam though.4. Prepare the foliage by stripping any leaves from the base of each stem. Make sure each stem is inserted at least 5cm into the foam. Angle the stems so that they don’t cross over each other and space them apart so as not to overcrowd any one spot of foam.5. Add the flowers. Finally, check your design from every angle to make sure that all the foam is completely hidden.
