1. Fluff your teardrop greenery and attach your bow close to the top with floral wire
2. OPTION 1: Take ribbon streamers hanging down from your bow, tucking a couple pieces on each side into the greenery to achieve the look of the ribbon weaving in and out of the branches of the teardrop.
3. OPTION 2: Leave ribbon streamers hanging and tuck a Christmas character like a positionable Snowman or Santa next to the bow with hot glue or floral wire.
4. OPTION 3: Leave ribbons hanging and move out of the way from the bottom of the teardrop for now. Taking ornaments and dipping their tops in hot glue, tuck glue-side down into the teardrop greenery. You can use multiple smaller ornaments, or a few large ornaments. It’s up to you!
5. Tuck individual ribbon steamers around the ornaments to get the effect of the ribbon weaving in and out of your teardrop, and leave some hanging for more dimension.
6. As an added option you can tuck some picks and sprays into the top of your teardrop to give it even more height and texture! It’s all up to you!
