I wanted to arrange some dried flowers in a small basket that I had made for a granddaughter. I was out of oasis and didn't care to leave the house. Then I put on my problem solution cap and remembered that there was some left over bird/deer netting in the tool shed.
I cut off a chunk and balled it up to fit in the bottom of the basket. The flowers slipped down into the netting a it worked just perfect!
Also tried the netting in a solid colored vase with fresh flowers, perfect!
Hope this is helpful to others.

Thanks for the complement. I haven't made many arrangements, just when I make a little basket for a faraway granddaughter and little baskets for friends at Christmas.
I grow flowers for drying and filling baskets that I've woven.
I enjoy the long quiet days in the garden all by myself!!!!
Have a great day.

That is so pretty! They look like fresh flowers! And it is even more impressive that you wove the basket yourself!!!

I used the light weight netting use to keep deer (if your lucky) from eating my veggie garden.
Sending along a link but, I'm sure you can find it in small packages in any hardware store.
