Instructions for flower decoration with hydrangeas - we'll show you how it's done:

Step 1: Position the birch branch

First of all, you should make a precise plan of where your flower installation should hang later so that you don't have to move it around afterwards. Bear in mind that the hydrangeas will also take up some space later on.

Step 2: Attach the test tubes

Then gradually attach the test tubes to the birch branch using paper wire. Use the holes at the top of the test tubes and then attach the paper wire to the birch branch by twisting the ends of the paper wire together. Then cut the ends of the paper wire with the wire cutters.

Step 3: Fill the test tubes with water

In this step, you fill the individual test tubes with water. Be careful not to fill the test tubes too full, as you will need enough space for the hydrangea later on.

Step 4: Decorate the test tubes with hydrangeas

Now comes the most beautiful and final step! Choose hydrangeas in your favourite colour and decorate the birch branch as you wish until all the test tubes are filled.
