valentine’s day bouquet how-to

Posted on 14 February 2012

Chris Olsen of Botanica Gardens dreamed up a sweet idea for giving flowers on Valentine’s Day! And it’s as easy to create as 1-2-3 (so you can grab what you’ll need on the way home and have it made right in time for a romantic dinner)!

Make someone feel special this Valentine’s Day. Forget about giving the same old flower arrangement you give every year and instead add that special element of surprise. You can do it!!! You can easily make your own arrangement that will mean so much more then a grocery bought bouquet.

All you need:

Heart shaped cake pan
Floral foam blocks (2)
Lavender spray paint
Sweetheart roses (2 or 3 different colors)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Here’s how:

1. Spray paint pan lavender or favorite color.

2. Cut floral foam to fit in container; hot glue to bottom of pan.

3. Fill pan with water. The bricks will soak up the water; fill until saturated.

4. Arrange rose buds by cutting stems about 2 inch long and pushing into foam.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Good Luck…
