Here's how to make your DIY Hand-Tied May Day Bouquet
Start by trimming off excess leaves from your blooms.
Gather each stem about 5-6 larger scale blooms.
Take your rubber band and pull it up ONE stem only, now wrap the rubber band around your bundle of stems. To secure the rubber band pull the end loop up another stem.
Now you have your bouquet and you're ready to wrap your ribbon or tulle.
Take about 6 inches of ribbon or tulle and pull it to the back of your bouquet. You'll use this 6 inches to tie to the other end of your ribbon after it's been wrapped around the stem to make your loop to hand on the door handle of door knocker.
With the 18" left of your ribbon, start wrapping in flat loops around your stem cluster.
When you're happy with the length of your ribbon around your stem, bring the excess to the back and double knot each end of your ribbon, now tie those ends to make a loop to hang.
Finally, use your clippers to trim the stems to about 1/2" to 1" below the bottom of your ribbon.
