The below Tips for Ikebana are useful while creating any Ikebana Arragement:
- Plasticine under pin-holder prevents slipping.
- A folded piece of newspaper under the pin-holder also prevents slipping.
- One pin-holder is kept on the other to balance the weight.
- If flowers are thin and far apart, tie them together for more color and also to enable them to stand.
- For extra curves and bends, tie the stem at a desired place and leave in water overnight.
- Bend with hand to create curves.
- Trim leaves to a smaller size.
- Twist and roll leaves.
- Avoid new leaves as they wither.
- For tall vases “X” and “Y” fixtures are used to enable the main lines to hold their angles.
