How Kim Crafted a Winnie the Pooh Floral Tribute from Oasis (Step-by-Step Guide)

Looking for inspiration on bespoke funeral tributes or unique floral arrangements in North Somerset? At Kimberleys The Florist, we specialise in turning creative ideas into heartfelt floral tributes. Here’s how Kim transformed a simple block of oasis into a magical Winnie the Pooh tribute—perfect for families wanting something truly special.

Step 1: Starting with Oasis Blocks

Every bespoke tribute starts with high-quality florist’s foam (oasis). Kim began by selecting and arranging the blocks, visualising the shapes needed for Winnie the Pooh’s head, body, and limbs.

Step 2: Carving and Shaping the Character

Using sharp tools and plenty of patience, Kim carefully carved each section. This stage is all about precision—ensuring every piece fits together smoothly, and the character’s proportions are just right.

Step 3: Assembling Winnie the Pooh (First Assembly)

Next, the individual pieces were assembled to create the recognisable Winnie the Pooh shape. Extra supports (like a spring for the head) helped bring the character to life. This is where the tribute really starts to take shape!

Step 4: Shaping the Face and Details

With the main structure complete, Kim refined the facial features and details, ensuring that the character’s personality would shine through in the finished tribute.

Step 5: Spraying the Chrysanths for the Perfect Colour

To capture Winnie the Pooh’s classic golden-yellow look, Kim carefully selected fresh chrysanths and expertly sprayed them to the perfect shade. This ensures the finished tribute is both vibrant and true to the beloved character.

Step 6: Finishing Touches & Floral Detailing

Once the flowers were applied, Kim added all the finishing touches—paying close attention to facial features and overall expression. The result was a beautiful, heartfelt tribute that brought smiles and comfort to everyone who saw it.
