Materials 1 in. thick artificial floral foam clippers knife Green button mums Black boutonniere pins 1 yd. of ½ in. ribbon Faux rings Step 2: It’s time to prepare the flowers. Use the clippers to cut off the blooms, leaving no stem. Next, push a pin through the center of each mum. Step 3: You’ll need to assemble the flowers in rows. Start in one corner, on the beveled edge of the "pillow", and carefully pin the mums into the foam. Complete all of the outside edges first. Step 4: To fill in the top and sides, continue adding mums and stagger the blooms so that all of the gaps are filled. Step 5: Once all of the sides and top are done, gently flip over the pillow and finish the bottom. Step 6: Wrap the pillow with ribbon, like a gift box. Tie a double knot on the top so the ribbon doesn’t slip, and secure with a few pins pushed through the knot. Step 7: String faux rings onto the ribbon and secure with a pretty bow. Gorgeous, right? Later this week they’ll show us how to create a matching flower girl bouquet. Stay tuned!
