Expert Advice From Elizabeth: Baby's Breath Ornaments



Today's Expert Advice is a DIY tutorial on how to create these pretty baby's breath ornaments! 





clouds of baby's breath

Step One:  Soak Oasis floral balls in water and then attach fishing line that is strong enough to hold the water weight of the soaked sphere. Mark your fishing line with tape, so it doesn't get lost amongst the clouds of baby's breath.


 Step Two: Clip the stems and cut small pieces, leaving an inch of stem at the end to be inserted into the foam.

 Step Three: Gather several stems together

 Step Four: Place gathered stems into foam, spaced about every half-inch around the sphere. This is time consuming (but totally worth it!).


 Step Five: After you've done about half of the sphere, hang the ornament to complete.

Voila! Aren't they adorable?

    1. It really depends on the size of the baby's breath you get, but probably in the neighborhood of 3.
