Hosting BloomFrame Parties

Thank you for hosting a BloomFrame party! The goal is for everyone to have fun and to create a beautiful BloomFrame they can proudly display on a tabletop or hang from a wall.

A BloomFrame is a combination of 3 things: 1) a frame with built-in floral mesh, 2) a curated selection of preserved flowers, and 3) a printed artwork with a built-in hole for sticking the flowers into the mesh. 

Creating a BloomFrame requires no skill or instruction and takes 15-45 minutes, depending on whether you choose a line drawing that also requires coloring or painting the artwork before sticking in the flowers.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (only ~15 minutes): 

1. Lay a pink tissue paper at each seat. This acts like a placemat to speed up cleanup of the small flowers.  
2. Place one BloomFrame on each pink paper. The BloomFrames come pre-loaded with artwork that can be swapped out if desired.
3. Place one flower bundle on each pink paper.
4. Place one printed instruction page on each pink paper.
5. There is a box with extra art canvas options. Lay these out on a table so people can choose whether to swap out the one in their BloomFrame. 
6. Put the included crayons and colored pencils next to the line drawing options.

HOSTING THE PARTY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mention to participants that they can use the artwork already in their BloomFrame or swap out the artwork for a different one.
   
2. DESIGN TIP: keep the flowers relatively short like in the samples on the instruction page. You can snap all the flowers stems with your fingers (no need for scissors). We recommend you first stick in the larger flowers to cover up the floral mesh, then stick in the smaller decorative flowers and flowers you want to rise above the mesh. 

CHANGING THE ART IN A FRAME:

1. Just rotate the plastic dials on back to open and remove the inner contents.
2. Remove the old art canvas and place in a new one.
3. Be sure to keep all the spacers in the correct order: the green mesh needs a frame-shaped cutout insert on each side. This gives space for the flowers to slide in and hold.
   

THE FLOWERS: 

• BloomFrames will last over 2 years because all the flowers are preserved REAL flowers, including lavender, star flowers, bunny tails, button flowers, and more.
• The instruction page includes names and descriptions of all flowers.  

MAINTENANCE:

• DO NOT water the flowers.  They cannot get wet and they do not need sunlight, but direct sunlight is ok. 
• Room temperature is best, but the flowers do great anywhere between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.  
• Limited humidity is best - we do NOT recommend you put your flower arrangement in a bathroom. 
• The instruction page also mentions the above.
