Materials:
| |
|
- Glass or acrylic beer stein
- 2 small bags of gold marbles (round or flat), just enough to fill the beer stein
- 1 glass votive cup
- 1/3 brick floral foam
- 10 stems white standard carnations
- 1/2 yard 2-inch wide gold ribbon
- 1 novelty straw
- Floral clippers, scissors, knife and floral food/preservative

| Directions:
|
|
|
Step 1 - Soak the foam in water that has been treated with floral preservative.
|
|
|
Step 2 - Cut the floral foam to fit inside the votive cup.
|
|
|
Step 3 - Fill the beer stein 3/4 full with marbles.
|
|
|
Step 4 - Insert the foam-filled votive cup on top of the marbles and then surround it with more marbles, filling the entire beer stein.
|
|
|
Step 5 - Cut the standard carnations to about 4-inches in length.
|
|
|
Step 6 - Insert the flowers into the foam. Start in the center and begin surrounding the center stems with flowers, until a round shape is created.
|
|
|
Step 7 - Finally, tie the ribbon around the rim of the beer stein. Tie it in a knot in what will be the back of the stein. Now insert the novelty straw into the 'root beer.'
