Wiring Materials:Florist wirePlain or enameled greenGauges: 16 (thickest) – 30 (thinnest for i.e. corsages)Helps strengthen and manipulate stemsGroups flowers togetherMetal picksInsert stems into machine, close around stems, once released pick is around collection of stems to make insertion in foam easierWood picks – strong anchoring deviceWood with wire on the endUsed to attach small materials to foam mechanicsII. Adhesive Materials:Pan-melt glueSolid adhesive melted in an electric pan (275ºF)Glue materials to a container or foundationMaterials are dipped into the glueGlue gunGlue applied directly to surfaceDO NOT use with fresh flowersFloral tapeUsed to cover wires and bind materials together )esp. corsages, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.)Life wax-coated crepe paper, not adhesive in nature, but when stretched will stick to itselfMust be stretched when wrapping wireComes in brown, green, red, etc.Anchor tapeDoesn’t stretch and is sticky only on one sideSurface must be dry, but once placed the adhesive is water proofIII. Accessories:Water tubePlastic vials of water placed on the ends of stemsRibbonAssigned numbers to determine width (large # = wide ribbon, vice versa)Satin, velvet, paper, burlap, etc.Double and single-faced ribbons1 = ¼”2 = ½”40 = 3”CandlesDoesn’t place directly in floral foam – candle adaptersLecture 2Outline of Current LectureI.
