This book is about simple designsfor everyday living—and that’s for your tools andmaterials too!You don’t need anything fancy, just some easy itemsfound in your home for quick access. There are also some handy optional materials that you can find online or at your

local craft store.

SCISSORS A pair ofsharp flower scissors isideal, but I will admit, I usually grab kitchen scissors. This is amust for cutting stems and removing lower leaves to keep the

water clean.

RUBBER BANDSI likesaving thethick rubber bandsthat come with the asparagus from the grocerystore aswell as buying different sizes of clear hair bands. A variety

of bands will be useful to have.

TAPE Tape is my secret weapon when creating invisible grids tokeep flowers and stems in place.Waterproof

tape is nice, but regular tape works fine.

RAFFIA I always have raffiain my gift-wrapping drawer.I love the organic, simple effect, which worksperfect for flower design. I useit in arrangementsto

hide rubber bands or to secure leaning orchids.
