Most of us are probably staying at home in self-isolation as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on. We miss doing ikebana together and hope that we can enjoy making flower arrangements together again soon.

For those of us with some time in our hands, let’s try some ikebana at home!

Let’s try to use something that is normally found in our kitchens: aluminum foil! The challenge is to use aluminum foil to create your container. Here are some guidelines:

The lead “character” is the container. Any flowers you add should be there to help the lead character.
You may use a different container to hold water or to help you with forming the shape (if you need). This other container may be completely hidden or could be showing as part of the arrangement. It’s completely up to you!
You may use kenzan, if you need. Again, completely up to you!
There are no other rules. Have fun with it!!
