ABSTRACT:
A method of making a decorative arrangement includes providing a wet foam, securing a plurality of decorative elements which may, for example, consist of live flowers or other live vegetation, dried flowers or other dried vegetation, artificial flowers or other artificial vegetation and additional ornaments. A plurality of decorative elements are secured to the wet foam and the wet foam is subsequently permitted to dry or dried. The wet foam may be applied to a release surface or to a support structure. Portions of the decorative arrangement may be made by sequential applications of wet foam, if desired. The wet foam, after partial curing, is shaped to provide a nodule within which the decorative elements are placed. The surface of the foam may be wet, as by spraying water thereon prior to shaping and partial curing, and may also be sprayed thereafter as by spraying water thereon. Further decorative procedures may be followed, such as employing a tool to place a cut or depression in the surface of the nodule, spray painting portions of the nodule, and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the wet foam is employed with decorative elements in combination with a preformed rigid foam which may be a preformed rigid foam with or without wetting.
