Gorgeous autumnal heather decoration

You need this:

That's how it works:

1. Free the stems of the flowers from excess green. Collect the bundles of heath and wire them.2. Assemble flowers into a mixed bouquet, making the stems spirally.3. Shorten the bouquet with the rose and wire scissors on vase length.4. Trim the ends of the stems diagonally for better water absorption.5. Loosely put the bouquet into the water-filled vase.
