- Here is a look at everything that was used in this Teardrop
- Susan got started on this Teardrop by first fluffing out the branches on the Teardrop and then tying the large Bow for the top. She started with the thinnest Ribbon first and then layered in each additional Ribbon, tying two loops per Ribbon. She also layered in a section of longer tails for each too. She secured the Bow with a Chenille Stem.
- Before adding the Bow to the top of the Teardrop, Susan layered in the Flocked Norfolk Pine Garland. She cut a section off of the garland and added it to the top of the Teardrop; sticking out of the top. The rest of the Garland she wove through the Teardrop adding the flocked texture to the entire length. She cut off the remaining section after it went past the bottom of the Teardrop.
- Next Susan added two of the Silver String Berries Sprays to the top of the Teardrop and then one coming out the bottom. At the top Susan spread the Sprays apart to better disperse the Stems throughout the Top. She also trimmed some of them so that they were proportional to the rest of the Teardrop.
- Once those had been added Susan tied the Bow to the top of the Teardrop. She used the same Chenille Stem that she used to secure the Bow.
- Next Susan added three of the Ribbons to the length of the Teardrop. She layered the Ribbons on top of each other and then looped them throughout the Teardrop. She used the branches of the Teardrop to secure each section.
- Next Susan began to add the florals throughout the Top of the Teardrop. She worked in and around the Bow using Hot Glue to secure each piece.
- Susan continued to work her way down the Teardrop adding more florals as she went.
- As Susan reached the Bottom of the Teardrop she tied a smaller Bow for the Bottom using three of the chosen ribbons. She kept this Bow smaller with longer tails that could hang down the Teardrop. She secured the Bow with a Chenille Stem and then tied it to the Teardrop.
