Poinsettia & Pine Bouquet Tutorial
By Laura Miller

Supplies Needed:

1/4 inch bead cap for bowl
Tiny bead cap, bead separator, sequin or other small finding for base
Green clump landscaping foam
greenery from Kitz!
punched flowers from Hanky Panky Crafts
White craft sand
Tiny twigs or very fine gauge floral wire
Yellow acrylic paint
Superglue
White Glue

In the picture below you can see the wide variety of findings that will make bowls (front row) and bases (back row) for your bouquet to go in.

		Choose your bowl and base findings.
		Superglue the bowl onto the base, and set aside until dry.
		Glue some clump landscaping foam into the bottom of the bowl.
		Cut 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch pieces off of the fern moss.
		Glue the fern pieces into the clump foam in the bowl. Glue at various angles.
		Cup flowers. Put a dot of glue in the center of the flower and sprinkle white craft sand into the glue. I dropped the flowers into a dish of the sand. Glue tiny twigs or fine gage floral wire on the back of the flowers.
		Glue the flower stems into the arrangement. Paint sand in the center yellow.
