Steps:

1. String Orchid blooms and buds to create 3ft.-4ft. lengths you'll need approx. 10-12 pcs.
2. Using the aluminum wires, cut 3ft. lengths and create tendrils along the length of the wire...you should end up with a 2ft. length. You'll need two pcs.!
3. Start wrapping the aluminum wire with the orchid leis until the desired thickness is achieved. Don't worry if it's a little loose!
4. Use the bullion wire to tighten the leis and to create an accent on the sculpture.
5. Bend to create an arch and then place each arch onto your "Ascot" vases from Accent Decor.
6. You'll need a larger version of this to place on the table.
7. Accent this grouping with the silver spray painted votive candles.
