Step 1

Cut a piece of ribbon to use as the hanger. The length is determined by the height of the area it will hang. Tie a knot on one end. Push a hole into the Styrofoam® ball and push the knotted ribbon with hot glue into the hole. Let the hot glue cool before picking it up with the ribbon.

Step 2

Cut the stems off of floral bushes. Now, push the greenery and floral to the top of the stem with your fingers. Next, cut the stems about 3" [7.62 cm] shorter.

Step 3

Divide up the floral and greenery into two piles and plan where to place the floral around your foam ball.
TIP: The goal is to keep the floral evenly spread out and fill in with greenery.

Step 4

Push the floral pieces into the Styrofoam® ball with a dab of hot glue on the end. Continue to add the floral pieces all around the ball.

Step 5

Finally, add greenery to fill in any gaps.
