Make a star shaped grid over the vase using magic tape.
Tape from the inside out so that the sticky side faces up
Bring the tape over the vase
... And secure it inside the vase on the opposite end.
Tape another strip
And tape another strip...
Add strips until the opening is covered
Fill the vase with water
Option 1:
Insert the chrysanthemum in an opening in the tape
Carefully place petals to radiate out from the chrysanthemum
Place a the petals neatly
... all facing the same direction
Add the petals one by one
Covering the taped surface as you go along
Keep following the same direction all the way around
Add a few rosary vine leaves...
... and a few twigs...
... to finish the design
Option 2:
Roll a few willow tips
Set the willow on the tape grid. Secure with a short willow twig that stick to the tape
Continue to add twigs to create a spiral.
Add snippets of moss as you go along
Fill the container with water and insert the flowering stem through the grid
