I love a floral frog. I mean it holds the flowers in place so they don’t droop or fall out of the vase or planter. The problem was I has camillas cut from my yard, and they have very very short stems.
And I was hosting a luncheon and wanted an arrangement with the camillas in an inherited pink vintage planter.
Soooo, I decided to try using tape to make a frog. I just put a few pieces horizontally across the planter and then a few vertically across the planter. It took me maybe a minute, and voila, I had a usable floral frog.
Here’s how it looked when I was finished.
Cost – free
Degree of difficulty – easy
That’s my kind of project. Does this count as being crafty?

I never know what to do with camillas…so I just leave them growing outside. I love this! Thanks for the idea.

Very crafty I’d say!…Love camellias..yours are gorgeous Hope you had a great luncheon…Have a great weekend!
Very good idea, I have done it before with painters tap I never thought scotch tape would hold up. Now it is good to know that it will.

This is a great idea. I will have to remember this for summer when I am clipping flowers from my yard to enjoy in the house.
I love it! Don’t know about crafty but I’d sure call it clever! The flowers look beautiful-enjoy:@)
Such smart simplicity!
It’s my kind of crafty!
What a great way to arrange those pretty Camelias!
Crafty indeed.
Absolutely, and it looks like it worked beautifully!
Very good idea – and it looks like it worked just grand!
Anita,
Fabulos, clever and quite useful!!!
Fondly,

HOW have I never thought of this?? Genius!
Sad to say I probably would have never thought of this!!! Great idea.
Florists do this for any arrangement they do in a vase but they use floral tape. It is clear also but thinner. That was very creative of you to think of it!! The camelias are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! XO, Pinky
