Joanna Gaines may be known for her ability to transform homes, but one of her most underrated talents is her floral arranging skills. It's one she picked up from her mom (just see this tutorial from the woman herself, Nan Stevens). She has a knack for creating loose, romantic arrangements that instantly become the focal point of any room—even if she's using faux flowers.
In a recent post to her Instagram Stories, Gaines shared a Reel showing how she creates those showstoppers. Anyone who's attempted a long-stem, loose arrangement like this knows how easy it is for flowers to fall limp or cluster together, looking less effortlessly chic and more jumbled mess. Gaines's secret to providing structure? Chicken wire. Or, in this case, a brass wire flower frog. The key is to crumple it to fit the size of your vase, then stick the flowers through the holes, filling in gaps while maintaining symmetry and a variety of heights, creating more visual interest.
