1. There are a number of ways to create a bouquet pocket. This way is one of the easiest. Simply obtain a plastic cone. These can usually be found with floral supplies. It should be the size you want and should be hollow.

2. You will want to decide what materials you want to decorate with. You can use everything from paper, to ribbons to fabric. Even decorate with seed pearls or beads.

3. Once you have decided what materials you want to use determine what will be the best to use to attach these materials. if you are using fabric, double sided tape works well. If you are creating a design using other materials such as ribbons or seed pearls you may want to consider a glue gun. Its a good idea to check the melting temperature when using a glue gun. You do not want to melt the plastic cone when attaching your material

4. attach your material, let dry and then add your flowers. If necessary add florist foam or other padding to hold the flowers steady. These cones usually come with a wide lip so you can always create additional decorations by wrapping the flowers in linen or lace.
