    I didn't take "in process" pics but what i did was get the flower, pine cone stick, leaves together. (pic 1) I then cut them to 3 inch sizes. I then I put floral tape on them. and then I put the satin ribbon around them. I used super glue to hold the ribbon. The hardest part was the ribbon because it didn't want to "lay flat" so to speak while wrapping- The ribbon wanted to bunch up and fold. So I had to wrap them really tight (sometimes re-doing them so the ribbon looked nice) and after doing 6 of these my fingers were cramped for a whole day. Then I had some pearl corsage pins, I cut them to about 3/4" inch at an angle (so the still sharp/pointy) and stuck them in the bottom.
