Gather some wire...
Crumple and scrunch up the wire,
... first into a ball...
....and then flatten that and...
... and pull it into a heart shape
Wiggle open a few holes and thread a pretty stick through the wire.
Place the stick and wire heart in a container or vase
Place the Agapanthus florets in tiny drinking straw test tubes (see below for Tutorial) and arrange on the heart.
Add a few spiral wire tendrils to curl over and around the flowers (see below for Tutorial)
