First step :

Take the cup  and pour in hot water.Add 5 dried Moroccan rose bulbs, 1 spoon of  rose water , 1 spoon of rose petal confiture or honey , cover and let it sit for 10 minutes. 

Next step:

Clean perfect the bell and let it stay at room temperature .

Glass bell 

Add the ribbon in the top and let the bell hanging but in the same time standing on the flat surface so the ribbon will stay in place until you add the flower  decoration.

On a sheet of paper lay down the stachys leaves and spray them with Oasis glue spray.

Preserved Red stachys 

Oasis Glue spray 

Let them sit for 1 minute . 

Is important to use preserved freeze dry stachys leaves because after you  glue them on the surface, they will keep the same size and shape. If you use fresh stachys they will get smaller during the time because they get dry so you will be able to see part of the  the surface uncover .

Start from the bottom of the bell and add the leaves  by pressing  them gentle to the surface.

Add the second round of leaves starting from the middle of the bell and between the first two leaves . 

Oasis Floral Adhesive 

 Preserved Pink scabiosa

Open the scabiosa in small florets and using the tweezers hold the florets and add  floral adhesive to the ends. Let them sit for 1 minute and add them to the bell following your own desire. Keep them pressed for few seconds until they stay in the place.   

Preserved Pink rose buds

Prepare the rose buds with floral adhesive and add them to the top of the bell. 

Preserved pink pepper

The last  ingredient to use is the small branch of pink pepper . Add floral adhesive to the stem, let it sit for one minute and press it gentle between the rest of the flower.
