Thanks for the advice Potty and Rach. The sweetpeas look lovely in the pomander, looks like I'll have to get my knife out and shape a bit of oasis. How big a diameter do you recommend, I presumed the oasis spheres would be ok. I'm not doing it for anything in particular, I saw one in a flower mag and thought I'd have a go. I love gyp.

Wire ends of ribbon together with two long wires push through oasis from top coming out bottom bend excess wire back up and insert into oasis then start to place your material
