"The next step wants you to take a look and see at the design element. One of the things that you need to do is, on this one, is carry these, the blue color a little further out. We have the dimensions to do that. We can add that by a simple flower, or small filler that doesn't really take away from the cow lilly, but it adds a little dimension to it and it takes your eye out. And we can do that on both sides, so that you'll follow all the way through. The next, the other thing you need to do at this point, is lift it up. And again, I use a hot glue gun. And start to glue in, now you can hold it anywhere and see where it is, and hold in any of those pieces that hand downward, just run the glue in there until they stay in place. It's very important because this might be an arrangement that you are going to be taking on and off the table and you don't want it to be falling apart every time you go to pick it up. So the next piece, the next step in making an arrangement is making sure that your design elements work. If they need something, go ahead and make that adjustment to them. And then go ahead and glue everything in space."
