Commonly called "wet foam", floral foam is the primary material for making
modern floral designs. Floral foam is designed to absorb and hold water in it's capillary
structure. Flower stems properly inserted into floral foam will be held in place and
can draw water up into the flower stem from the floral foam. Before designing an
arrangement, floral foam should be allowed to soak in a solution of water and floral
preservative / food. Each brick is 9"x4"x3".

Waterproof Tape
We jokingly call Waterproof Tape the "Duct Tape" of floral design. It is
used to secure floral foam into a container or to create a "grid" on a floral
vase. Waterproof tape is a grand design material. It is very strong and when
affixed to a clean dry surface holds tightly even when submerged in water.
