Chrissy, it`s very easy to do! Use different sized styrofoam balls for your bases. I always choose the green colored ones because the foliage from the flowers blends in nicely.
Additionally, I would recommend that you use silk flowers with little flower clusters like hydrangeas, etc.
Take each flower cluster and attach them to the styrofoam ball using floral pins. Work around the ball, pinning each section as you go. Do not worry about "overlapping" the stem portion, as the flowers themselves will fill in any gaps.
Finish by attaching a heavier floral pin at the top of your ball, and looping through some attractive ribbon to match your decor.
Good luck crafting!
