4. Fix a Wooden Skewer at the Center of Styrofoam

Use a wooden skewer or a thick popsicle stick in this step and wrap it with a green floral tape. Insert the skewer into the center of the Styrofoam and fix it with a dab of glue. Apply some glue at the other end of the skewer as well to fix a Styrofoam ball in it. The Styrofoam ball should be almost in the size of the container; generally, ball in the size of a tennis ball would work in most cases. To add more effect, use a green Styrofoam ball or use a green wrap to a different colored ball.

5. Attach the Candies to the Styrofoam ball

Use floral pins to fix it over the Styrofoam ball. You can either fix both the ends of candies and one end alone. Pinning candies should be continued until the entire ball area is covered by the candies. After completing the fixing, once again fix the skewer at the bottom of the container.

6. Make it more Colorful Using Bows and Loops

Using colored ¼-inch ribbons, make loops and small bows and fix it along with the candies around Styrofoam ball. You can also think creatively and add whichever you find useful to the Bouquet that makes it more attractive and festive.
