| 1. Paying close attention to pattern placement, trace foam cube five times onto back of wall covering. Cut out squares. Glue squares to sides and bottom of cube. |
| 2. Following manufacturer's instructions, rub small amount of leafing over wall covering motifs to accent raised texture. |
| 3. Cut two 20" lengths from 5/8"-wide ribbon. Beginning and ending at center top of cube, wrap ribbons in opposite directions around cube sides; pin ends to secure. Use glue gun to completely cover top of cube with reindeer moss. |
| 4. Cut 6" length from wire. Shape 2-1/2"-wide ribbon length into six or more loops; wrap wire around center of bow, twisting ends together. Wrap wire around top of floral pick and insert 1" deep into center top of moss-covered cube. |
| 5. Use floral shears to trim rose stems and insert into top of cube around bow. Adjust bow loops to fill any gaps between roses. |
| 6. Trim berry stems and separate into smaller bunches. Insert berry bunches into foam between roses and around top edge of cube. |
| 7. If desired, remove floral stems one at a time, apply glue to ends, and reinsert into arrangement for added strength. |
