Step 2

Stick a wire onto one side of the fantasy leaf with tape which is the same colour as the cardboard.

Grab the bouquet, or bind loose flowers into a sheaf bouquet. Finally place the cardboard leaves in the bouquet. Make sure that the cardboard doesn’t touch the water when you place the bouquet in the vase.
