Bouquet holder with handle (dry foam for silk flowers)
Ribbons (2 yards)
Glue gun and glue sticks
6" wide tulle (1-1/2 yards)
Cream colored roses (6 - these can be artificial)

Baby's breath (One dozen sprays - these are ornamental plants used in gardens and for bouquets)

Instructions
First you need to cut the baby's breath into three sections. You must leave around 3 inches for the stems. Now, insert around 18 sections around the bottom of the foam. Place these evenly and then insert 12 sections in the middle area of the foam. The remaining 6 pieces can be placed aside. These can be used later.

Cut the stems of the flowers to about 4" in length. Insert them onto the topside of the holder. Place the remaining stems of the baby's breath in-between the flowers. Now, tie the tulle around the upper area of the handle into a firm knot. Use hot glue to secure it firmly. You can arrange fresh flowers along with the silk flowers as per your preference.
