Prep the grapevine base, cut pipe cleaners in half, begin at the 12 o’clock position and attach the pipe cleaner
Apply in triangles, leave about 6” space and attach on the outside of grapevine
Place another one diagonally across from the previous pipe cleaner on the inside
Continue in the same pattern down the grapevine, ending at the 6 o’clock position
Using 10” mesh cut 4 strips each of two colors at 25”
Roll in the ends and walk it up the middle to make a cruffle
Add into the pipe cleaner, push against the base, twist the pipe cleaner, alternating the colors down the base
Add Cream Greenery
Prep stems by trimming the stem of the spray, cut at angle, fluff out in triangle and bend
Put in grapevine at the 12 o’clock position with hot glue
Layer next piece into the negative spaces of the previous layer
Mold and move the mesh as needed, as you add the sprays
Mark the transition point, where you want to place the bow and begin the downward flow of the sprays
Add the next spray under the mesh and into the grapevine upside down
Continue in the same manner until complete at the 6 o’clock position
Add the floral spray in the same manner beginning with the 12 o'clock position and continuing downward until the 6 o’clock position filling in the empty spaces
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 4” 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
Third layer: using ⅞” ribbon, 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, dovetail the short ends
Fluff the bow, moving mesh as needed to support the loops
Layer the three longer tails on top of each other, make a billow pouf
Add a zip tie at the 7 o'clock position, pinch the pouf and add into zip tie it in
Make tails and trim 1” shorter than the previous layer and dovetail
Add Sunflowers and Other Florals
Trim the sunflower sprays at an angle and bend the ends
Start with the large flowerheads, placing the first one at the 12 o’clock position
Start working in diagonals and in triangles all the way down
Face some flowerheads forward and some downward
Begin placing the next size flowerheads, following the same pattern filling in some empty spaces
Add floral bud at the top of the grapevine, then add one in the center of the bow
Add additional buds in diagonals in a couple more spots
Fill in other spots with the cluster sprays
