pictures of how to do aqua pack

[Palms]

A while ago quite a few of you asked me to show how we do an aqua pack over here. I ran out of the boxes that i use the other day and had to get Gemma to do one so i took some pics (not very good ones sorry). I hope they show what we mean a bit more when we talk about them now.

BTW, i do not use these just for information.

First you wrap the handtied bouquet with tissue as in the hong kong or as i know it, the Chelsea wrap.

Then, you take two pieces of square cellophane and put them on top of each other so that they form a star shape.

You then put your hand tied bouquet on top and gather around the cello up to the binding point and wrap some ribbon to secure.

You then put more cello around the tissue as the hong kong wrap again and pour in water in the top. HOpe this helps.

I wrap mine slightly differently to paula in that I cut a width of cello pop the tissue on top fold over to form two points and then pleat the middle and tape. This protects your tissue from becoming soggy should you miss with the water when the phone rings and makes you jump!!!

I cut two rectangles just bigger than a sheet of tissue. Place a piece of tissue on top of each one. I then fold each one over to make 4 points then wrap one side then turnover the tied and wrap the otherside so the bouquet is fully enclosed. this also protects the tissue from becoming wet as it is enclosed within the cello.
