SUPPLIES:
- 1 box, approximately 4 inches high with a 5x5-inch base
- 1 medium deli cup (pint size)
- Note: This is a great way to upcycle containers from our Deli Department!
- Wrapping paper
- Tape
- 2 yards of ribbon
- 1 Neve Bros. bouquet
- Extra greens or flowers, optional
PREPARATION:
- Wrap the outside of the box with wrapping paper, leaving the top open.
- Place deli cup in the box.
- Tie ribbon around the box like a gift, creating a cross at both the top and bottom, then tie a big bow on top.
- Carefully pour about 1½ inches of clean water into the deli cup.
- Divide bouquet into four equal bundles, then arrange each in your hand to make a mini dome bouquet. (You can rubber band the stems loosely to help hold the arrangements.)
- Trim each bouquet down to approximately 8 inches tall.
- Place one bouquet in each quadrant of the box with the ends in the cup of water, letting the flowers rest at an angle against the corners of the box.
- Add additional greens or flowers if desired, then fluff up the bow in the center.
Pro Tip: You can also make this arrangement for different holidays and celebrations year-round by choosing different flowers, giftwrap and ribbons!
