My first attempt at a bouquet, after the photo I did add a bow to it.

Lovely job, well done  

Looks every nice - if I may make a suggestion? If you are going to have flowers with such long stems it would be better to add more flowers into the vase as it will give for a nicer and more fuller display.

If you want to keep them as they are then make the stems shorter.

Great job - thanks for sharing

Good for a first attempt.

Cheers all.

I did add a bow afterwards which pulled them in to a tighter bunch and filled the gap a bit, but yes, probably make then shorter gain next time.

I like these. How did you make the vase? I have tried but they never sit straight.

I followed a video tutorial I saw (can remember who's now but I'll try and find it for you). I glued a water bottle to a plastic party plate and then used a bit of selotape wrapped the wrong way to stick the stalks to the bottle. The vase started off with a pinch twist, wrap round and secure, small bubble, another pinch twist and wrap round again, I used 2½ 260q's for it. You'll need to stretch the balloon after inflation though as you won't have enough length in it otherwise.

Out at the minute though, but will find the video for you later.

I must have made millions of these, and I find them a really good seller. I get £20.00 for them easily.

The best bottle I have found for them is the "fruit shoot" bottle as the end of the centre stem fits really nicely on the "spout" of the bottle. I half fill it with sand for weight.

I use 3 260's for the vase, each one makes 2 bands

Just found the video, and it was Ken Stillman's.
