Instructions

1. Press foam cone against a rigid surface to flatten one side so

it will hang properly against a wall or door. Insert a skewer into

tip of cone to prevent it from breaking.

2. Remove and discard plastic veins from large silk leaves. Place

leaves face down on layered newspaper. Wearing latex gloves, spray

backs of leaves and foam cone with adhesive. When adhesive is

tacky to the touch, press and smooth leaves onto cone overlapping

them slightly. Continue adding leaves until sides of foam are covered.

3. Twist ends of a chenille stem together to form a loop. Insert

loop into flat side of cone at center top and glue for a hanger.

4. Push foam ball on tip of cone and glue. Glue pansy blossoms

covering ball.

5. When arranging flowers, use photo as a guide. Gently shape

stems for a natural appearance. If necessary, attach wooden picks

to flowers for added length. Dip stems into glue before inserting

them into foam cone.

Lupine: Cut lupine into one 8", one 10", and one 15" stem. Insert

15" stem into top left of cone, 8" stem in center, and 10" stem

trailing down left side.

Tulips: Cut tulips into one 12", one 10", and three 8" stems.

Insert 12" stem to right of tallest lupine. Insert 10" tulip

trailing down right side of cone. Insert 8" stems filling in

center of design.

Daffodils: Cut daffodils into one 8", two 6", and three 4" stems.

Insert 8" daffodil below tallest tulip. Insert remaining daffodils

in center of design.

Pansies/Ivy: Fill in around previous flowers with pansies and ivy.

Glue one stem of ivy trailing down front of cone and then a pansy

to the trailing ivy.

6. Cut ribbon into three 1-yd. lengths. Attach wooden picks to the

ends of two ribbons. Insert these picks into cone around flowers

to form graceful ribbon loops. Glue remaining ribbon trailing down

right side of arrangement. Trim "V's" in ribbon ends.
