# How to Make Flower Arrangements With Silk Orchids in a Vase
Flowers are great to use for decorations and home accents, but once they are cut and placed in a vase, it's only a matter of time before their appearance fades. If you'd like to add a touch of nature's beauty to your decor but want it to be long lasting, you can use silk flowers to create a beautiful arrangement that won't die. Orchids are vibrant flowers that can be arranged in a vase with other greenery to create a peaceful and colorful piece. Silk orchids can be found in craft stores and online.

Cut 1 inch from the bottom of three of the branches.

Place enough silk greenery into the vase to fill it half way.

Use your fingers to move the flowers around so the three shorter pieces are in front and the three longer pieces are in the back. The greenery should hold everything in place and fill space on the sides and between the orchid branches.

Use heavy shears to cut away any leaves or flowers that stick out of place to disrupt the balance of the arrangement.
