Holiday Floral Decoration DIY

Hey everyone. I am back doing another episode. Thank you so much for tuning in. This is Eddie Zarathustra once again. This episode is revolving around kind of a whimsical, you know, holiday decor. I shouldn't say Christmas because I like the holidays because then it extends it for a long period of time. I've got some interesting stuff in here. I've got some beautiful glittered. It looks like some type of maple leaf. I've got some dried preserved dyed material that is absolutely stunning that goes into this aqua Tiffany blue coloration. I've got beautiful dogwood silk flowers that are embedded with beautiful details of gold. And you have to play with this a little bit to kind of open it up and make it nice. Just because you get flowers on a stem like this, it doesn't mean you have to like put it in a vase like this. You just kind of have to move it around and kind of massage them, as I call it. And just kind of let it, you know, look how beautiful this is. Just the detail, the amount of time that they had to go through to make each of it. Yes, of course, it's, you know, things that there's things that are made by machines, but there are certain things that are made by hand. And you can see the difference because there is no way that the machine could equally do the glitter on this as nice as when, you know, it's dipped and it's painted and, you know, the amount of work to make this just one bloom looks so amazing. So anyways, get back. I'm getting back to this. Probably going to do this with all of them just to give it some life. And you can do a couple of things, right? We can mix all of these flowers together or we can take two of the elements and do it in a container. I have some succulents here that are icicled. So it's kind of fun to see a succulent that has kind of a different feel to it. So it looks a little bit more like crystallized. And I like the grayish green effect up against this because it kind of tones down the colors and then just makes it more like gorgeous. So this is what I'm going to do. I think I'm going to take my succulents and I've actually filled this with water again. I was planning to do some fresh flowers and then I looked at the product. I didn't love it. And I said, you know what? I'm not going to force this and I'm going to try to do this in a different way. So I'm taking the succulents. If this is the first time you guys are watching my channel, I hope you're enjoying it so far. If you haven't subscribed, please do so. You can also follow me on all social media. Look, this is just looking so good already. So what I'm going to do is I'm actually take some of these leaves and I'm going to cut them up and tuck them in between the bottom of the succulents. So almost giving it like a collar. See that? Look at the difference between this and look at the difference between this, right? There's a big difference. I mean, of course, I'm going to add to this, but just when you finesse things and you massage them and you layer them upon each other, it looks amazing. I do have this. I have one stem of this. And so I'm thinking it's pretty nice by itself, right? I mean, I think it's really pretty. But can I add to this without making it tacky and still make it look elegant enough? I think so. At least let's try it, right? Doesn't hurt to try. Not always right. And sometimes you do have to try things creatively. Sometimes it's in your head and then when you're actually producing it, the execution isn't correct or it's not using the right materials, aren't used. So people freak out and then they get discouraged and then they don't want to do it anymore. But that's not, should be, that should not be the case. I think it's gorgeous. Either way you look at it, it's got beauty to it. OK, now let's start the other one. On this one, I think. So I've got some leftover ornaments and I was wondering what I was going to do with it. It's just one in one. And it was like, now that's perfect. So I can now use it. It doesn't have a stem for me to to adhere it to. This is the leftover stems. And I just glued it. And now see, it's sturdy enough for me to be able to use it inside the arrangement. Sometimes it's better to take it out if you can. Because it's easier to kind of glue and have it stay there rather than starting all over. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start with my dried, preserved, dyed material. And just going to cut it up and then I'm just going to let it do its thing. So the way it kind of drops in the in the vase. Gorgeous already. I am going to take the ornaments and I'm going to shove one right here. And the other one kind of sort of on the bottom lip like this. And then I'm going to take the dab of glue because I don't think it's going to stay there the way I want. So if I can do a dab of glue on this, I'd adhere the lip of the ornament on top of the vase, on the lip of the vase. See that's so cool right now. So cool. Now I'm going to take these dog wood. So there's almost like little butterflies. You see that? Look at that. Cool. You're loving that. And then I'm going to do one kind of sort of. Otherwise, you won't get that effect. It would look like it's been like not paid attention to. Look at this. Fully bloomed butterfly. So what I don't like right now is I don't like this. The tape showing, of course, the only way to mask it is if you take another flower, you see that tape. So when I'm putting it on in the vase, I don't want the tape to show. This way I'm masking it. Extended it. And look awesome. It's going to look really awesome. Look, we're going to go back in here. Look at that. Look at the movement, the curves, the one flower going here, the one flower going there. The leaf, you know, pay attention, fix things. This is what it's all about. It's attention to all the details. Oh, my God. I'm loving it. Look at this. You know, you can add more leaves. Here we can do this because one's left. So let's, let's use it. Put it in the back to support that. I mean, look how simple this was, right? Like we could, we can even do lots of other things. You know, there's so many choices. You take the product and think about different ways of using it. This is two ways that I'm showing you how to use this. I mean, I can easily go back and I can extend these and these coming out of this branchy. That becomes the focal point. But nevertheless, it was exciting really to do this video. Look, I'm always in glitter. Let me clean the table out. Let me wash my hands and finish the segment. Yeah. So, guys, I'm back. And look, this, these arrangements, they were, obviously there are a couple of products that they were abundant, but we just took two ornaments, two succulents, some dogwoods and preserved flowers and some vases in this beautiful aqua Tiffany blue with accents of gold. And then we mixed it with the champagne colors, right? So spectacular. So simple to do. This can be used for your console table, your entry table. You can add candles and accessories to this. And make sure you guys are following me on all social media. It's good to connect with all of you. I can't answer all emails and text messages and direct messages, but I do my best to kind of get back to everybody as much as I can. I love, love shooting these videos. I hope that it opens up your mind to the use of materials and to think out of the box, to be able to use and repurpose product. I don't know. It's it's exciting that I got to do all of this stuff. I got to repurpose, recycle, and I can put this and store this next year and do it a different way. And maybe I do another video using the same vases if they're still in the in the studio to do another revamped version of this. But you never know. Again, I want to thank all of you for tuning in.
