Instructions

  • Prep stems by trimming the stem of the spray, cut at angle, fluff out and bend slightly
  • Put in grapevine at the 12 o’clock position with hot glue
  • Layer next piece into the negative spaces of the previous layer
  • Leave about a 3” gap between the upward & downward transition for bow
  • Mark the transition point, where you want to place the bow and begin the downward cascade of the sprays
  • Add the next spray into the grapevine upside down until complete at the 6 o’clock position
  • Separate the grassy spray into smaller pieces, trim at an angle
  • Place grass at the 12 o'clock position and the 6 o’clock position
  • Continue adding a couple of pieces of the grass
  • Make The Bow
  • Starting with 4” ribbon, make a 6” tail, pinch it together,
  • Make loop (approximately 8”) from back to front, then walk it together, give it a hard twist,
  • Make another loop (approximately 8”) from back to front, walk it together and lay it on top
  • Make sure the loops are the same size and that bow fits the area
  • Second layer: Using another 2-1/2” ribbon, make the tail just slightly shorter than the previous layer
  • Make loop about 1” shorter, from back to front, then walk it together, give it a hard twist,
  • Make another loop from back to front, walk it together and lay it on top
  • Fasten the layers together with a zip tie
  • Take another zip tie, find spot for bow and add the zip tie into the grapevine
  • Add bow in the center, fasten off, fluff
  • Make a roller coaster loop, pinch, attach to bottom of grapevine, curl ends
  • Using a single floral head, add in at the 12 o’clock position
  • Position the pumpkin, weave a skewer through the grapevine and into the pumpkin
  • Add two more skewers, crossing over the previous ones, cut any pieces on the back
  • Add a piece for greenery under the pumpkin
