- Small, shallow plastic or metal bowl
- Wire cutters

- Remove individual flowers from branches using scissors. Glue blossoms one at a time to bowl. Continue until exterior of bowl is fully covered.
- Use wire cutters to snip a 10" length of wire coat hanger. Wrap wire around coffee can or other cylindrical object to create rounded handle shape.
