Materials Used in this Tutorial

  • Encapso K

Step 1: Arranging Faux Flowers and Gathering Material

Arrange artificial flowers in a glass vase. Now gather all items needed before measuring and mixing the Encapso®K.

Step 2: Dispensing, Mixing, Pouring Encapso K

Combine equal amounts, by volume, of Encapso®K into a mixing container. Thoroughly mix the Encapso®K, scraping the sides and bottom of the container several times while mixing.

Use a funnel to make pouring the Encapso®K into a full vase easier. Pour Encapso®K slowly to the desired level. Check the arrangement and reposition any stems that may have moved.
