- Here is a look at all of the items that were used in this Teardrop. You can find everything on our website and in the links above
- Susan got started with this Teardrop by first adding a piece of Styrofoam to the center of the Teardrop where she wanted to place the Nutcracker. This helped the Nutcracker stand out in the Teardrop and not be covered by all of the florals. She used Hot Glue and the branches of the Teardrop to secure the Styrofoam. She then wired the Nutcracker onto the Styrofoam.
- Once the Nutcracker was secure, Susan started adding florals to the top of the Teardrop. She cut pieces off of each of the florals and added them to the top of the Teardrop securing them with Hot Glue. She created a crown so to speak at the top giving the Teardrop more height and texture.
- Susan then tied two small bows to go on either side of the Nutcracker. She created a bow using two loops of each ribbon. She left small tails on both bows. She secured them with a Chenille Stem and then tied them to the Teardrop.
- Once the Bows had been added Susan moved down the sides of the Teardrop adding more of the florals and also adding the 2 Red Velvet Magnolias to either side of the Nutcracker.
- Susan then added both of the Blue Glitter Net Ball Ornaments to either side of the Nutcracker. She secured them with Hot Glue on each ornament.
- Working down the Teardrop, Susan tied a large Bow with the remaining ribbons and left the tails longer. She secured this Bow with a Chenille Stem and then tied it to the Teardrop as well.
- To finish off this Teardrop Susan added the final florals to the bottom in and around the large bow.
- When finished you will have a gorgeous Teardrop to use inside or outside your home throughout the Holiday Season!
