Prepping Your Moss Base

- Create a small patty of moss to cover the watering can spout.

Adding Florals & Greenery:
- Pick your main focal point flower, usually this will be the biggest blooms out of your floral bunches.
- Then layer the other flowers in.
- Trim individual floral stems at the closest point to the main stem using wire cutters.
- Remove any excess covering over the wired stems.
- Add glue to the stems and stick them right into the foam base.
- Work your way around, moving the watering can so your floral design looks natural.
- When working with sets of 3, keep those 3 in a triangle form to create balance.
- You want the floral bouquet to have a nice round look to it.
- Keep filling until your bouquet is thick and gorgeous!
- Use greenery to help the transition between floral stems and watering can.
- Dip the greenery stems into glue pot and insert near the base of the floral stems.
- Let them hang over the edge for a beautiful transition.
- Finish off with a flower bloom over the moss covered spout.
Making a Bow

- Add the wooden pick into the pipe cleaner, and twist it securely. Use the wire from the wooden pick to wrap around the ribbon loop for extra security.
- Curl in the tails
- Insert into the foam base for the finishing touch.
