The easiest thing to do is tuck your spray into a vase or balloon sand weight.

The stick can be cut to the length that works best for you

If you have flowers in your vase, pull out the middle stick with the glittered top, tuck that in to sit just above the highest flower. Add the rest of the spray to the side after you curl the straight pieces and the wires.

Create a Centerpiece
-
First, create a base using 2 sheets of mylar paper and sand. Lay one sheet horizontally and the next sheet vertically on top of the other sheet. Pour the sand into the middle of the two sheets and gather the two sheets up. Tie a ribbon around the top of the gathered mylar paper to secure the base in place.
-
Using a balloon pump, blow up three 5" balloons in the colors of your theme. Tie them and place them on three balloon sticks. Cut two of the sticks shorter than the first stick. Place the tallest stick in the back of the base and the two shorter balloon sticks side-by-side into the front of the base.
-
Next detach the centerpiece from the spray. Curl the spray using the side of a pair of scissors. Cut both to appropriate heights and place it in the middle of the base with the tallest balloon being behind it.
