Fasten with another rubber band around the middle.

Step 11 & 12: Wedding Cake Tutorial

Step 12: Every thing gets glued to ribbon ONLY. Start with your darkest leaves and flowers, glue the leaves
on and stick some of the flowers into the towel laps, or under the ribbon. Work your way up to the lightest of
the leaves or flowers. Cover the area where the towels meet.

Take your 1 1/2" ribbon and glue the end to the bottle with just a touch of glue.

I just tuck the ends under the bath towel.

Step 11: Take your 1 1/2" ribbon and glue the end to the bottle with just a touch of glue. Run this ribbon
down the side of your towel cake and glue where ribbon crosses ribbon to the base.

Step 13: Wedding Towel Cake Tutorial

Step 13: I used chennile stems to attach the little champagne glasses to fill out the arrangement.

I tried the ring out of the box, but it was too small, so I just made a large bow and glued it to the ribbon on the champagne bottle.

The box and all nested into the bow and glued on.
