- Tim started this design by adding the 10" White Deco Mesh to the Teardrop. He used the branches of the teardrop to tie the mesh onto the form. He zig zagged the mesh across the teardrop working is way down.
- Next Tim tied the 4 loop bow to the top of the Teardrop. He used floral wire to secure the bow and then attach it to the Teardrop. He left the tails attached and then worked them down the Teardrop creating loops.
- Then Tim added the Blue Icy Glittered Fern Picks to the Teardrop. He used a total of 3 and he distributed them throughout the Teardrop.
- Tim added the Pastel Poinsettia next. He cut the majority of the stem off of each of them and then added them to the middle of the teardrop. He spread them out throughout the length of the Teardrop.
- Tim then added the Pastel Ornaments throughout the Teardrop. He used hot glue to secure each ornament.
- Tim added the Striped Glitter Ball and the Snowflake Stems. He separated these into individual sections and used hot glue to secure them.
- Lastly Tim added the Snow Flocked Picks on the edges of the Teardrop.
- When you have finished adding all of the components you will have a gorgeous Teardrop to use throughout the Holiday season.
