Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Almond holders
  • Jordan almonds
  • Pearl sprays
  • Small floral accents
  • Floral tape
  • Ribbon
  1. Step 1

    Take five almond holders and place an almond in the middle of each one. Close the holders by folding them in half, sealing the almond inside.

  2. Step 2

    Pick up one almond holder with the folded side of the holder facing to the left. Place one pearl spray to the left of it and sticking up about an inch higher than the almond holder.

  3. Step 3

    Attach the pearl spray to the almond holder by wrapping some floral tape tightly around the stems where they’re joined and then twisting the wired stems together. Add another almond holder to the right of the first and face it in the same direction, twisting it around the stem to attach it.

  4. Step 4

    Add a small flower to the front of the almond holder and twist it around the stem to attach. Tape off the top of the stem where the items are joined by wrapping a couple of inches of floral tape around it tightly.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat the same process adding another almond holder to the right of the last, another flower on top of it, and then the last two almond holders to the right of those, but without flowers on top. Finish it off by wrapping all the way down and back up the stem tightly with floral tape.

  6. Step 6

    Cut a piece of ribbon 10 to 15 inches long. Tie the ribbon in a bow about halfway down the stem. Add a favor tag or personalized ribbon if you like.
