Lori!...I have just the right thing for you,hope you like it. Take the silk flowers of your color choice, cut all the pettles off right at the base in a straight cut, do the same with the leaves. Turn the vase up-side-down and start hot-gluing the smallest inside pettles around the top of the vase. do this row-by-row and add the leaves as you go along till you are about 1" from the bottom of the vase. This is where you can put the ribbon for a bow, covering the bottom of the pettle on the last row so the glue doesn't show. You will need to seperate several flowers into several sizes befor you begin, and lay them out so you don't have to hunt fot the size before you begin, largest at the bottom, smallest at the top. Sometimes I find the nicest flowers at the .99 store, because with every holiday that comes along, I change the colors, and with flowers from the $ store, I can do that. If the vase is large enough, I put a small candle in a jar in the botton, and use them in the bath so guests don't have to look for a light in the dark. One year we even did enough to circle the pool for our anniversary! That was the year I got a diamond tennis bracelet!!!Good luck hope this will help/
