"Okay, the next thing that you need to do is you take a look at it, and make sure that the ribbon is where you want it to be positioned and how you want the angles to fit. Go ahead and curl your fingers down along it to get the nice curve that you like in them. And then you can cut it back, once it's on the holder. To the style and the angles that you want it to look at into your finished product. Once you get it looking like this, then you start to look and see any construction that you need to hide. You don't want to see these wires sticking up here, or anything like that. Take single flowers that you have, single leaves, hot glue gun them right onto it so you cover up any of the construction that you don't want to see. Okay. Once you've done that, and your construction is covered, and it looks good, the arrangement's ready to go, you can go ahead and take the toothbrush, and again, you pull out any of these glue strings that you don't want to have on them. If you like this hanging down for extra texture and style, the little ribbon is fine, if not, you cut that loose ends off so that you don't see them. Come on... And that's basically how you finish up your bouquet, your corsage."
