The ‘L’ Line Arrangement

Step 1 – Select Materials

• A low container
• 2 gladioli
• 9 carnations
• 1 stem of statice
• Leather leaf
• Floral foam
• Anchor tape

Step 3 – Establish Height & Width

Establish the height of the arrangement with a gladiolus that has the bottom floret removed. (Save this for future use.) Insert the stalk in the back left corner of the foam.

Step 3 -- Continued

Establish the width of the arrangement by removing the bottom two florets – as one stem – from a second gladiolus. (Save these for later use.) Position the second gladiolus parallel to the table so that the vertical and horizontal lines meet at

a 90-degree angle. 2

Step 4 – Insert Remaining Glads

Flower # should be placed at a 45- degree angle between the two main lines. It should never be more than ¼ the length of the vertical line.
