Waterlook® is a trademarked, non-sticky, dust resistant formula which creates the illusion of fresh-cut flowers in water. Although "silk" is a common term used to describe artificial flowers and foliage, their floral designs are actually made of materials that have more durability and do not fray or fade as silk does. Each bloom, leaf and stem is individually wired to maintain realistic form, while the subtle coloration, shadings and striations in the natural flower are duplicated to perfection! Arrangement arrives ready for display. Cleans easily with a duster or dryer on cool setting.
