2. Attach flat cedar and seeded eucalyptus to spray using floral wire.
3. Attach peacock feathers using hot glue; reinforce with wire at center of spray.
4. Tie ribbon around wire, making a traditional bow or adding a Ribbon Rosette if desired.

I missed the info about where to purchase the peacock feathers. My daughter is getting married and wants to put some in her hair. Her dress is bright peacock blue. Thanks.
