  Step 1

  Gather your materials. You'll probably want tiny crystals like the ones I used, which are diamantina in a shape known as lasers, needles, or points, and can be purchased online. They're no longer available from the source where I got mine, but they came in an assortment of 5/8 to 2-1/2 inches.

  Step 2

  Take your crystal and toothpick and overlap them slightly on top of a piece of masking tape a couple of inches long. Wrap the masking tape around the toothpick and crystal several times until they seem secure.

  Step 4

  Wrap green floral tape around the masking tape to help it blend in.

  Step 5

  Now add whatever greenery and decorations you want and secure them with floral tape. For my wedding ones I made them the day before the event and used real flowers and plants, but for this example I used some vintage fake flowers and feathers. Try to arrange the other elements so they hide the base of the crystal and toothpick.

  Step 6

  Wrap ribbon around the base and trim off the end of the toothpick if it’s too long, and you’re done!

  Step 7

  Here's one that I made for the wedding, with real plants.
