Materials for the 2 vases:

2 – Mixed Spring bushes
Gladiolus bush
Blooming Rosebush
Filler Flower bush (Queen Anne’s Lace)

***The above flowers came from Hobby Lobby while on sale for 50% off***

4- Dollar Tree fern bushes
1 – Dollar Tree Pool Noodle
Zip ties
Large Bowdabra
Bowdabra Bow Wire

Instructions:

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire.  Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side.  This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.

Next, place the greenery in the Bowdabra. Then add a filler flower bush. Now, fan out the larger flower bush a bit and lay that in the Bowdabra. Follow with the gladiola bush. Now, add the remaining filler flowers, and finish with the greenery.

Insert the loose bow wires through the loop and pull tight for a slip knot. Remove from the Bowdabra, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Fluff and arrange your arrangement.

Cut a pool noodle to the length of our arrangement.  Then, slice the pool noodle piece lengthwise to wrap around the stems. You may need more than one pool noodle piece to fit your cemetery vase. Wrap the noodle around the stems and zip-tie them to secure them.

Finally, add them to the vase at the cemetery and give the flowers one more fluff and arrange your beautiful cemetery vase floral arrangement.
