Rose plus baby breath makes it just perfect

Hello once again, I have done my shopping and got to the last step of this project.

this is the final run though, I have put everything I think will go with the bud vase. Check out the picture.

I got some baby breath from Vons florist this morning and I got two sprigs of it for $2.50. This is more than enough for 3 three bud vases. I did get some resin water from Jo Ann's. I found that the manufacture of this
stuff, has a made another type of resin. This type is cooked on the stove in boiling water, you pour the stuff into your vase then have to heat it again to get the bubbles out of the water. I went with the $12.99 type that is still mixed together, stirred together and then poured down the middle of the vase.

I have a picture above that is empty vase to show you the vase next to it, has rocks in the bottom. I think I like the river rocks..look better than the crystal drops. Check out the above pictures to see the difference. Looking again
I think I also tend to go for the hot pink ribbon rather that the pink polk-a-dot ribbon. What do you think?

I have arranged the vases the way I wanted it, to look, prior to pouring the resin water. You will need to take all the items out of the vase with the exception of the rocks.

Here is a list of the items used in the vase...
rose, curly willow (2 twigs) 2 ting-ting, several filler stuff (the green filly stuff), baby breath 2-branches, small gauge ribbon

Please note I really like the baby breath, it makes the whole thing look so professional, it gives it a soft look.
I know I can hear you saying, they will die? Yes, they die and dry very well turn a bit yellow or ivory color.
If this one is for you, I would think about every 6 months you could spring for a new bit of baby's breath, to freshen it up. Tomorrow, will do the resin. You will need to gather up a used drinking water bottle, wooden popsicle stick.
The water bottle is the type you drink from at your desk. You are going to cut the top off so you can mix the resin in the bottle, stirring with the popsicle sticks or a bamboo skewers.
