How to Update Your Silk Arrangement – A Few Easy Touches!

How many of us have old silk arrangements that we want to add a little pizazz to?
A little update?
A little spark?

How to Update Your Silk Arrangement

I recently found an arrangement in a consignment shop that had good “bones” and the container was usable, but it just needed a bit of tender loving —- PIZAZZ!
At only $6.00, I was sure I could give it an uplift and turn it into something that would add to one of my fall vignettes.

I began by “fluffing” the arrangement I had purchased by pulling and straightening the stems.

It really did have great fall colors and some wonderful pumpkins and gourds.

But it really needed that tender loving “spark” added.

I gathered together an additional pumpkin and gourd, a stem of leaves and a stem of berries.

I began by cutting apart the stem of leaves.

I added wooden picks to give additional length to the sections.

Then I inserted them into the arrangement to add length to each side.

I cut apart the berry branches.

I added a few branches cut from an outside bush to give the arrangement some height.

I glued a few of the berries and leaves to the branches to add interest.

A couple of additional gourds were added as well.

Just a few touches can update your silk arrangement.

The finished arrangement was set in a fall vignette.

I love the way the candles reflect in the mirror.

Next time you pull out that arrangement that needs a bit of an uplift, take time to add just a few easy touches to add a bit of pizazz!
