Hi there! I’m Joette from the Bowdabra Design Team, and today I’ll show you how to easily create a beautiful Cemetery Vase Arrangement using the Bowdabra and a clever pool noodle installation technique. These colors are designed to last through fall, the Christmas season, and all winter long. Let’s get started!
Supplies:
Pool Noodle
Christmas Greens pick
Assorted Floral Bush w/flowers, fillers & foliage
Eucalyptus Bush
Berry Bush
Long stem of Berries
Glitter Fern Bush
Sunflower picks
2-Three-stem floral bushes
Red Bird
Zip ties

Instructions:
First, lay a zip tie into the Bowdabra. Work on one side of the Bowdabra only so that you will have an upright bouquet.
Next, place a sunflower pick into the Bowdabra. Add some filler flowers, followed by florals of mums and hydrangeas. Now add a pic that can be spread out for fullness.
Add some eucalyptus and some berries to the center of the arrangement. One side of the arrangement is complete; now mirror all the same florals for the other side. Now, add some ferns all around for the collar of the arrangement.
Zip tie the arrangement nice and tight. Remove it from the Bowdabra. Add a second zip tie and tighten it, then clip all the zip tie ends. Finally, fluff and shape the arrangement. If desired, clip a bird onto one of the flowers.
Add the pool noodle:
Next, add the pool noodle. Cut a piece of noodle and slice it down the center lengthwise. Insert the stems of the arrangement into the noodle and tie it tight with a zip tie. Use as many zip ties as necessary. If your cemetery vase is larger, you may want to add extra pool noodles as necessary.
Your cemetery vase arrangement is ready to add to the cemetery.
