First, let me introduce how to make a ball bouquet＊

【Bride DIY】 How to Make a "Ball Bouquet"＊

① Making a ball bouquet is similar to making a topiary ♡ First, prepare materials such as a round Styrofoam ball, artificial flowers, string for the handle, wire, and a glue gun. If you want to add tassels or other decorations, make sure to prepare those as well ♩

Aqua foam, which allows you to attach a handle, is also recommended ◎

② Cut the artificial flowers slightly short, leaving some stem behind＊

③ Use a nail to poke the string that will become the handle into the ball. It will be covered later with flowers, so it’s fine if it's a bit messy ♩

④ Once the string is attached, start inserting your favorite artificial flowers＊ The good thing about using Styrofoam is that you can redo it as many times as you want until you’re satisfied ♡

⑥ Once the position of the flowers is determined, glue them in place with a glue gun and it's complete ♡

Next, let me introduce some cute ball bouquet designs＊
