- Susan started this Teardrop by first adding a layer of Mesh to the base. She started at the top of the Swag and used the branches to tie the Mesh onto the Swag. She crisscrossed the two colors with the green being on top.
- Next Susan ran the striped and harlequin ribbon down the length of the Swag. Tying them off in the middle to create two large loops.
- After adding the first layer of Ribbon, Susan moved onto creating a very large stacked Bow for the top of the Teardrop. She alternated the ribbons making single and two loops at a time. She also added a layer of tails from each ribbon in between the loops. Once the bow was finished, Susan used a Chenille Stem to tie it off and then added it to the top of the Teardrop.
- Susan then moved on to adding the florals. She added the first Curly Spray to the top of the Teardrop and then she cut the Grass Bush into separate sections. She added this to the top and down the sides of the Teardrop. She used Hot Glue to secure each piece.
- Susan then added the first set of Spiders to the top of the Teardrop. She used Hot Glue to secure them. She also added the first set of Black & Pink Balls to the left side of the Teardrop.
- Next she added the second Curly Spray to the bottom section of the Teardrop and she inverted this spray so that it was facing downwards. She also added the Pink & Black Glitter Pumpkins Spray to the middle of the Teardrop.
- Next she added the last two spiders. These she cut apart. She placed near the bottom of the Teardrop and the other on the left side.
- With the remaining Ribbon, Susan tied a small stacked bow to finish off the bottom of the Teardrop. She secured the bow with a Chenille Stem and then tied it to the Teardrop.
- Susan then finished off the Teardrop by adding the last set of Pink & Black Balls to the right side of the Teardrop. She also cut apart the Black Glitter Twig Spray and added it throughout.
- When finished you will have a stunning Teardrop to use all throughout Spooky Season!!
