What should I use to glue floral foams together?
I need to glue together pieces of floral foam for a molding project. I need to have these pieces glued together firmly. Previously, I've tried using hot glue (from a glue gun), yes the pieces stick, but you can break everything apart with a nudge of a finger.
I need these things to be glued and not stuck together by sticks or wires because the floral foams would be shaped by sandpaper.
Please help!
What should I use to glue floral foams together?
Aileens tacky glue.
How about using some caulking
Reply:The problem with floral foam is that you can glue bricks together using plumber's goop and that layer of foam will hold together. But the foam is so fragile that you will get a break above the glue just like you experienced with the hot glue gun.

How does one buy the purest form of a floral fragrance?
I know there are essential oils but even those are cut, usually. What and where can one purchase the purest form of a floral fragrance. I am particularly interested in violet, lilly and freesia.

Another good thing would be to know or find out about your supplier and their reputation.
This rose oil site had interesting information:
http://www.roseotto.com/
This site had oils for all three of the fragrances you were looking for (among others.) They're listed in the aromatherapy oil areas:
Freesia - http://www.somaluna.com/cat/suns_eye_pur...
Lily -
http://www.somaluna.com/cat/suns_eye_pur...
Violet -
http://www.somaluna.com/cat/suns_eye_pur...
(I've not purchased from either of these sites so am unable to speak of their reputation/business ethics.)
*~ Good luck ~*
Reply:Essential oils really are it. You just have to buy the ones that are of therapeutic quality to assure that they are not cut. Try Aromaland, they have a website.

What are effective ways to market a floral business?
Direct mail is easy and relatively inexpensive.
Introduce yourself to people who could refer customers to you.... i.e. wedding planners, (also anyone in the wedding industry...bakers, dress stores, preachers, etc.) Funeral Homes, Churches. Basically anytime people use flowers.
I'd have a good web site.
Join networking clubs.
Reply:Go to bridal shows. Put your product out there with businsess cards all through it. Also, deliver small bouquets to neighboring businesses, announcing yourself. Then, there's the usual, phone book, etc. Good luck.

Reply:So many ways - some would be original and that will only depend upon your own thoughts and inclinations ...The ones I can think of are :-
1. Prepare a Flowers of the Season Chart and arrange to book them for delivery well in advance - the early worm catches the bird here - 'twill keep the price low.
2 Prepare Seasonal Display Posters and stick them in front of your business place - that will attract customers at the relevant time
3. Prepare pamphlets - low cost ones will do - have them delivered by the newspaper boys in your neighbourhood at least once a week throughout the year.
4. Get a Credit Card reader machine for the major credit cards in your area - slap a big poster - "Pay by Credit Card"
5. Advertise with a ticker on the private TV Channels in your area
6. Prepare brochures of the Floral Displays and show them to the customers who come there and book for later events - only a daily list with names and phone numbers will do - AND remind them of the event in the morning before they leave for office or work. I f you can then book for home delivery with a minimum delivery.
7. Tie up with hotels for daily flowral arrangements in their rooms.
8. Tie up the same way with others
9. Always keep the flowers fresh if possible with a proper air environment.
... and so on .. Go ahead and take the plunge - All the best

Try contact cement. Spread a thin coat on the mating faces you wish to loin together, allow it to get sticky, then join them together. I think that's how the florists do it.
Reply:Try silicone caulk...apply to both pieces and press together and give 1/4 turn...let dry.
Reply:Are you working with "oasis"? Try floral wire like rebar in construction...interesting project

I make silk floral arrangements as a hobby. How can I sell these to businesses/craft stores? Where do I start?
The types of arrangements that I make are holiday/seasonal, wreaths, and, many other floral arrangements that can be placed around the home.

start with your friends, neighbors, officemates and some referrals from them.
Reply:I would recommend that you start putting up fliers at craft and fabric stories, because then you will be marketing people that are already interested in this. In addition, you could send images to interior decorators, because they might choose to market your product to their client. Good luck!
