What you do

1. Place doily and about 2 oz of fabric stiffener into plastic bag; close bag with twister. With fingers, knead stiffener into doily. When doily is saturated with stiffener, remove doily from bag. Spread doily flat on waxed paper or aluminum foil. Blot with paper towel to remove excess stiffener.

2. Place the soft-drink can in center of doily. Bring bottom of doily up over can. Fold left side of doily over can. Fold right side of doily over can. With fingers, loosely shape doily at sides and bottom of pocket (photo). Let doily dry about 3 hours before removing can. (Note: If can is removed too soon, doily may not retain its pocket shape; if doily dries too much, can may be difficult to remove.) After removing can, let doily dry completely, about 8 hours or overnight.

3. Insert floral foam into pocket and cover foam with Spanish moss. Using photo as a guide, arrange dried flowers in floral foam in order given in materials list, poking ends of flower stems and floral picks into floral foam.

4. Cut 30" piece of ribbon; make a four-loop bow with 8" tails. Glue bases of loops to center of remaining 18" piece of ribbon. (Note: Bow now has four tails.) Attach bow to floral pick with floral wire; wrap wire and pick with floral tape. Add ribbon pick to floral arrangement; trim ends of ribbon to desired length (photo).
