The driftwood acts as a frog to keep thin blades of grass, a long stem of orchids and wire neatly in place
Stack driftwood to rest on the bottles. Glue each new piece of wood in place with epoxy glue. Make sure you do not glue the wood to the glass so that the entire driftwood stack can be removed in one piece.
Keep adding bits of wood. Each piece of wood should make contact with another piece at two places to be secure.
Add a few smaller pieces of driftwood. A variation in sizes will make the driftwood stack look more natural
Curve a few pieces of wood around the edge to secure the stacked driftwood.

My first design in my demonstration at the BC Floral Art Society meeting
A simple placement of bud vases... with the tiniest of lemon coloured twist that makes them unusual.
Managed to find an utterly gorgeous branch... perfect contrast to the minimal orchids.
