Glossy, black-beaded plants dance amid puffs of white hydrangeas in a rich, rounded structure; the lengthy, black-satin streamers are gathered at the ends in soft ruffles.

Ruffled Streamer How-To

1. Minimize a 2 3/4-inch-wide silk ribbon into a length of 2-feet-in addition, enough to wrap when around

stalks and tie in a knot.
2. Trim ribbon ends with pinking shears. Mark leading edge with pins 4x at 2 1/2-inch time periods. With coordinating thread, sew triangles from mark to mark.
3. Draw thread to gather and knot. Tie around ribbon-wrapped stems of bouquet.
