Steps:

1. First start soaking your Oasis Igloos in a bucket of water. While soaking creatively place rocks and fish tank accessory into bubble bowl.
2. Take White hydrangea and Paint Olive Bright, Robin’s Egg, Larkspur Blue and Violet all at the same time. While still wet run under water to allow blending. Let Dry
3. Take 2 Jade Roses and hit with a little Olive Bright to create a more dramatic Lime Green pop.
4. Take Green Carnations and hit with a mixture of Olive Bright, Robin’s Egg and Larkspur Blue, making each one a little different.
5. Take yellow Poms and hit them with a touch of Orange Paint to create a nice contrasting color
6. While flowers are drying, take already prepped Bubble bowl and attach the two Igloos by stringing them together on one end with the Blue 12 Gauge Wire, next slip them over one edge of the bowl and secure with the Blue wire, bending into place.
7. Next swirl in your 3 pieces of Lily Grass
8. Now creatively place pieces of the painted Hydrangea, Roses, Xanadu leaves, Poms, and Carnations into your Igloos
9. To add a finishing touch I swirled pieces of the Turquoise and Blue 12 Gauge Aluminum Wire and incorporated them throughout the piece.
