Prep your design.
Start with an evergreen base.
Fluff out your pine needles.
Take 5 colors of 10” mesh and cut 5 each 24” strips.
Take 1 color of 21” mesh and cut 5 24” strips
Using the 21” mesh, create the “butt” method; by curling each end toward each other, cinch each end about 6”in and fold in half
Begin by placing the 21” mesh (butt method) on the outside ring first
With the 10” mesh, make cruffles by curling the edges in and pinching the middle together.
Add them into your base, alternating colors as you go.
Repeat steps 5-8 until both the outside ring and the inside ring have been completed
Extend 4 zip ties together to make 1 long zip tie.
Squeeze the base together to create an oval
Add the extended zip ties to the back of the base
Tie 2 pine tines to each end of zip ties for added security
Prep your metal sign
With jewelry hole punch add holes to left and right edges of sign
Add pipe cleaners to each hole
Place sign higher than center to allow for large bow
Optional: you may add a glob of glue to back of sign to keep it from moving
Attach sign to base
Make and add your bow
Using two extra long pipe cleaner, twist them together
Take 4 ribbons, make an 8” tail and two 8” loop bow with a longer second tail with each one (with each color, make the loops a little bit smaller)
With the last (#5) ribbon, make an 8” tail and 1 loop and end with a longer tail
Layer the ribbons and secure them together using the double pipe cleaner
Add your bow into your design
Take a few extra ribbons and make smaller bows and tail sets to add around the design.
Dovetail your bow ends.
Add in your greenery and florals
Take your mixed greenery bush and berry bush, cut it into smaller pieces and add it around your design with hot glue
Separate the floral bush into pieces and add in with hot glue
Fluff and clip floral filler stems into bundles to also be added around the base with hot glue
Final touches
Remember to trim, dovetail the longer tails in the bow
