Start with a regular grapevine that is spray painted red.

Attach a 7” piece of reinforced floral foam to the bottom right of your base using floral tape and zip ties.

Add another one that is 4” the same way in the top left of your base.

Attach some 3 small to medium sized fern leaves around each piece of foam. Securing them with a pick and glue.

Attach 3 pieces of olive branch leaf in between the fern leaves.

Add a couple extra leaves with different color or texture into the top of the foam to fill it out.

Repeat the same process on the bottom foam using 8 fern leaves to start, filling in the gaps with olive branch leaves and other leaves for a variety of color and texture.

Take two poinsettias and fluff out the leaves.

Take a magnolia leaf wire stem and fluff out the leaves.

Put the magnolia leaf stem into the foam directly in front of the branch.

Tie the magnolia stem to the branch with one of the branch pieces.

Next add in three glittered fern leaf picks. Add two in on the side that they are naturally falling towards. One on the left and one on the right.

Add the last one in the middle, closer to the top of the branch and secure it with a greenery tie from the branch.

Cut the stem of the Poinsettia about 7”, put hot glue on it and stick it into the foam facing the front on the bottom right side of the stocking.

Add in your second Poinsettia above the first one and slightly to the left but not right next to the first one.

Start with four 1.5” ribbons and three 2.5” ribbons.

If you are using a bow making apparatus use the D section.

Take a 1.5” ribbon and make a center loop. Secure it with wire.

Take another 1.5” ribbon and make 1 loop on either side with tails (dovetailed). Secure the middle with wire.

Repeat this process with the rest of your ribbons, making your loops slightly bigger with each ribbon. With the last two 2.5” ribbons layer them on top of each other and make the loops together. Securing with wire in between ribbons.

Tighten your wire around all the ribbons in the middle.

Repeat the whole bow making process but make them all slightly smaller.

If you are using a bow making apparatus, move your pegs from D to C.

Fluff out the bows.

Add the smaller bow to the top left foam and secure it with the wire and hot glue.

Add the bigger bow to the bottom right foam.

Take a 14” piece of mesh and make a ruffle and use a twist tie to hold it together in the middle.

Add a pick to the twist tie and stick it into the bottom foam underneath the bow, securing it with hot glue.

Repeat this process with a few 2 more ruffles and place them around your bottom bow.

Do the same for the top bow but use 7” mesh instead.

Add in some white feathers and a variety of red glitter stem decorations around your bows. Securing it with picks and hot glue.

Add different color ribbon tails around your bows. Securing them with a steel pick and hot glue.
