- Here is a look at the supplies Susan used to create this Memorial Cone
- Susan got started by first cutting apart all of the Bushes into individual pieces. She left one Sunflower Bush whole and pushed that into the center of the top of the Styrofoam.
- Once the center Bush was secure, Susan spread the stems out a little just to give them all a little room. She then started adding the individual stems one by one, turning the Cone as she worked. She added Hot Glue to the end of each stem before placing it in the Styrofoam.
- Susan trimmed the stems as she worked to help create the round shape of the top of the Cone.
- Susan continued to work her way around the Cone, adding more florals as she worked.
- When she was finished adding the florals Susan added a layer of Leather Leaf Fern to the bottom area of the Cone; making a skirt around the bottom.
- The Summer Sunflowers Memorial Cone is a beautiful way to celebrate a loved one's life while bringing warmth and comfort to family and friends. One of the best features of this design is its versatility—it can easily be recreated for any season by simply changing the florals. Bright spring blooms, vibrant summer flowers, rich autumn tones, or elegant winter greenery can all be incorporated to create a personalized tribute that reflects the time of year or honors a loved one's favorite colors and flowers.
