Measure a blade of grass or slender leaf. It should be long enough to easily wrap around the small bowl or container.
Wrap the blade of grass around the container.
For my design I wanted a dramatic twist so I measured the blade of grass out so that it points upward. You can fold the end flat if you prefer. Secure the grass with a drop of glue or pin it with a sharp twig to keep it in place.
Line the containers up to display.
Fill the containers with water.
Snip the orchids from the stem. You will notice I leave a bit of the green stem to help the flower absorb water better.
You can find more information on how and where to snip flowers from stems in my book, the effortless floral craftsman. I also have a more detailed Tutorial in the links below.

Slip the stem through the slit.
