Once piled into a bowl, the balls can be embellished with flowers, babies breath, or leaves.

Decorative Balls Centerpiece
• Bowl, platter or tray
• decorative accessory balls
• 6-12 roses or other type of flower
• leaves, if desired
• (optional) babies breath

Arrange balls in a bowl or on a platter or tray.

Next, cut the flower stems to about 3-6" long and insert between the balls.

Clip leaf sprigs to about 5" and insert between the balls near the roses.

Tip: Flowers may last several hours without water. To make an arrangement last longer, fill the bottom of the bowl with water and cut flower stems long enough to reach down to the water -- only if the water will not damage the decorative balls. Or, use clear floral water tubes for each flower stem, inserting both a flower and a leaf, plus a stem of babies breath into the tube.
