You could also vine them through wreaths, etc. Try to keep the tussie mussie simple. Place the flower or herb representing the most important message in the center, and surround it with your other herbs or flowers, working in threes to give it symmetry. Make an encircling frame with fragrant leaves or ferns. I usually work holding the flowers in my nondominant hand, while adding and rearranging with my dominant hand.
Some people prefer using a glass as a holder while they work.
When complete, secure the stems with a rubber band, and slip the bouquet into your paper doily or tussie mussie holder. Wrap the stems with floral tape and then ribbon. You may also addax small bow. Using a pin and gold thread, attach the card, with the message and meanings. These would make excellent gifts.
