gather together:
approximately 2 yards of ribbon, lord dane bunting label pack + a bamboo skewer
tools: hole punch + scissors
+ faux flowers (the cheap ones with plastic stems--sometimes if you look really hard you may see something that resembles a dahlia or a ranunculus....)
punch holes in the top 2 corners of all of the Lord Dane labels
string ribbon through holes, going in through the front of the label , through to the back (so that the ribbon draping remains on the back side of the label )and back up through the front . string all of the labels together this way; set aside
clip flower blossoms from bouquet
remove plastic parts from bottom of flowers
grasping the flower, remove the front center plastic part and pull out as well
keep holding the petals together with one hand
with your other hand, lay your ribbon over the center of the petals, where the hole is + using the bamboo skewer gently push the ribbon through to the other side, so it comes out the back of the flower.
tie a loose knot in the underside.
this will help keep your blossoms in place and spaced however you choose
continue stringing as many blossoms as you wish onto your garland
remember to tie a knot after each one
enjoy!
