Step 4:  FINISHING THE BOUQUET

To cover all of the exposed mechanics at the back of your bouquet, place the galax as a finishing collar.  They should face outward giving a polished, professional finish to the bouquet. 

Once all the stems are assembled, cut them to form a 6" handle and wrap carefully together with corsage tape.

STEP 5:  ARTISTIC DETAILS

Double check your handle for any exposed wires.  Tape repeatedly over the cut ends to prevent any snagging from the sharp edges.  Once you are sure it is smooth and snag free, wrap the handle with the flax leaf.  You can hold the ends in place with a small dab of Oasis floral adhesive glue or, a corsage pin works in a pinch.  Then, slowly turn the bouquet in your hand and check the balance.  If necessary, shift a blossom or fruit by carefully bending the wire and maneuvering it into place.
