| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1. Glue clusters of light and dark moss to foam cone, completely covering surface. |
| 2. Using photo as guide, group roses and leaves on work surface in pleasing arrangement. Roses should face forward and form slight arch. Use wire cutters to trim stems to fit within cone. Insert stems into cone base; fill in bare spots with leaves. |
| 3. Cut 24" length from wire. Loosely wrap wire around fingers to create interesting shape, leaving 2" straight tail at one end. Wrap straight wire end around floral pick; wrap together with floral tape. |
| 4. Glue butterfly to free wire end; let dry. Insert pick into cone so butterfly appears to fly above roses. |
| 5. Cut inverted "v" into each ribbon end. Center ribbon over cone front, then wrap to back. Overlap ribbon ends at back, then wrap to front. Secure ribbon to cone back with floral pin. Overlap ribbon ends at front, forming "x" just above first ribbon. Secure "x" with floral pin. Glue small pieces of moss to cone to hide floral pins. |
| 6. To tie cone to chair back, loop ribbon ends through opening close to top of chair with one hand, while holding cone close to chair with other hand. Shorten and pull ribbon loops to secure; be sure cone hangs freely. Tie bow at top of chair. |
