Some designs really do just make themselves. I received this tiny little vase, that sits at an angle, for Christmas from Marius (thank you, Marius!) and while cleaning out my design room I found this little twig with a fork in it. Add a ranunculus with a ridiculously gorgeous curve in it's stem... done.

Fit a flower stem between the twig and the vase

Wiggle the twig so that the flower stem fits snugly to keep it in place
