Grass Bundle

Gather a small bundle of grass

Latch the bundle together with a blade of grass

Give the grass bundle a slight twist to add visual interest

Tie the other side with another blade of grass and cut the loose ends short

Place the flower in a tiny water tube and conceal inside the grass bundle

See the Tutorial below for more details on how to make tiny water tubes from drinking straws
