- Here is a look at everything that was used in this Teardrop
- Emily started this Teardrop by first adding ribbon down the length of the Teardrop. She tied the ribbon to the Teardrop using the branches and then created loops all the way down.
- Next Emily added the two Sequin sprays to the top of the Teardrop. She stuck the stems down inside the top of the Teardrop and had a bit of Hot Glue on the end of each to help secure them.
- Once those were added Emily tied 3 Bows for the Teardrop using the remaining Ribbon. She tied two smaller two loop stacked bows for the body of the Teardrop and then tied a larger bow for the top. She secured all of the bows with a Chenille Stem and then used that same Chenille Stem to attach the bows to the Teardrop.
- Once the Bows had been added to the Teardrop Emily moved onto to working with the Florals. She cut each of the Floral Sprays into multiple sections so that they were easier to work with and then began adding them throughout the Teardrop. She put Hot Glue on the end of each stem before placing it.
- Emily placed the three Fleur de Lis Picks near the top of the Teardrop. One on each side and then the last at the very top.
- Once those were placed Emily continued to add the rest of the Florals to finish off the Teardrop.
- Once all of the Florals have been added you will have a stunning and festive Teardrop to welcome friends throughout the Mardi Gras season!
