Threading Hawaiian Flowers to Bachelorette's Feather Boa

Video Transcript

"PAMELA YAGER: Now that I have all of my pieces together that I need for my boa to start decorating it, I'm going to actually start decorating it. I also need a threaded item or a thread tool. I have this wire, which you can also get at either a hardware store or a party supply store, a craft store, and I took off a piece, about so long, that looks about four inches, three inches. And I am going to take first my straight ribbon like this. I'm going to make each piece rather long because if we have some extra, we could always trim it later. But the problem is when you don't have enough ribbon. So here, I'm going to make two pieces because I'm going to have matching on both sides. And this is a very thin ribbon, if you notice. It's going to make it a lot easier to thread through the middle of the flower. I'm going to put it through my threading tool, and I'm going to use--let me do a dark purple one. Let me start with dark purple. I'm going to take the threading tool, the two ends of the wire that are sticking out, and I'll put those through the middle of the center of the flower where they have a hole. That's where the thread was before when we had it together as a lay. And now, we pull thread through the ribbon, and I'm going to pull one piece. And now, we're going to attach it to our boa. And that's in our next step."
