I have always loved the idea of giving mini bouquet gifts. Even just some simple cut flowers from my garden can make a great gift. I also love the idea of cocktails…. lol. So we combined flowers and thrift shop cocktail glasses to create these floral cocktail bouquets. This project was featured on Creative Juice on HGTV. You can watch the full episode on watch.hgtv.com.
Supplies:
Oasis floral foam
Margarita Glass
Fresh flowers – 1 large and 6 – 10 small
Moss
Kitchen knife
Craft Scissors
Ribbon
“Happy Birthday” Scrapbook Tag
Paper Umbrella
Steps:
1. Place moss around the inside rim of the margarita glass.
2. Use a kitchen knife to trim and shape the floral foam so that it fits inside the glass.
3. Use you fingers to maneuver the moss around the foam so that only moss is peeking through the glass.
4. Working with the large flower, trim the stem so that it is the appropriate height for the glass and place the flower in the center of the foam in the glass.
5. Add water to the foam, fill until saturated.
6. Add the remaining flowers by trimming the stems and placing them around the rim of the glass.
7. Add decorations: Place a mini cocktail umbrella in the glass and tie on a happy birthday tag.
