Prep single-ring evergreen base by fluffing out pine tines
Cut 10” deco mesh 22” strips x9 each of two colors
Make cruffles with the mesh, push all the way down to the metal and twist between pine tines
Alternating between the two colors, continue throughout the base (like an hourglass)
Place each cruffles next together, not leaving any gaps
Squeeze base into an oval shape
Fluff all the cruffles
Decide where you want to place the attachment
Make a nest for the attachment by lightly pushing down the mesh where it will be attached
Attach with twist ties in the back of the base
The bow will be attached in a diagonal from the attachment
Make the bow
Using a 4” ribbon, measure tail, pleat/pinch, loop, twist, loop, pinch
Using a 2-½” ribbon, measure tail, pleat/pinch, make loop about 1” smaller, twist, loop, pinch
Add layers with a zip tie and then add into the pine times just below the attachment
Fluff loops, trim tails and dovetail, curl ends (optional)
Prep the picks, ball ornaments and floral sprays
Remove the silver top from the ornaments, add hot glue to top of ornament and add into the mesh in a triangle method
Add the next pick with hot glue in triangle method opposite of the previous layer
Using the smaller pick, following the triangle method, add with hot glue
Continuing the triangle method add the trio cluster spray with hot glue
Pull apart the grass spray, cut the stems at an angle, add with hot glue in some of the empty spaces, arranging in a triangle pattern
