:: Here’s What To Do ::

Using the cutting pliers, cut off the thick ends (where they are all grouped together).
Since flowers vary, make sure the length of the flower stems are each about the same length.

Continue until you get to the desired length of flowers.
Sometimes you might need to place a dab of hot glue on the

Now, you’re ready to hang them!
First determine from where you will be hanging them, to determine the length of string.
 Using the fishing string, tie off the top flower of each vertical garland.

NOW…unless you’re ready to hang these where they will go, or if you want to store them for another day, follow these easy and quick instructions:
Using a cardboard piece (like from the flap of a box). Depending on the size of the flap, you will cut slits and cut out a circle for each vertical garland. Just place the top flowers beside each other, so you know how much space you will need between them.

Then slide the top flower into each slot.

Now, to store the string so it doesn’t get tangled up, coil it up and tape it beside each flower on the cardboard.

Then, find a place you can hang your flowers, so they don’t get tangled up.

They really look BEAUTIFUL!
