| 1. |  |
First remove the gardenias from the box as directed. |
| 2. |  |
Insert a wire horizontally thru the stem just below the flower, insert half way and then bend both sides down to make a "stem". |
| 3. |  |
Take the tape and stretch out a small amount (stretching the tape will make it stick to itself better) and start winding the wires just below the petals. Wrap the tape all the way down the stem on each flower. |
| 4. |  |
Now you can assemble all the flowers together to form a round globe shape. Tape all the stems together securely. Add the bow and tape again. |
Note: Leave the Gardenias in their original box til use, remove bag and carefully unlatch the sides of the box then you can easily remove the flowers without touching the petals.
