Green fingers and flower lovers alike will love these DIY mini bouquets ideas.
1. Flower Chandelier
What you’ll need: Flowers, cheesecloth or wire mesh, twine or thin wire, floral wire.
How to do it: Gather the flowers directly after getting them. This way they will keep for up to three days which is enough time to make these beautiful chandeliers. Start by measuring out your cheesecloth or wire mesh and cinching it with twine or thin wire to create a web. Make sure that the piece of cloth is fairly open on each side as this will ensure good air circulation. Now, push your flowers through the loose center of the cloth until you have covered all visible space in a colorful bouquet of blooms. Finally, wire your cloth into place using florist wire. Keep the chandelier close to a window or in indirect sunlight because this will prolong its life.
2. Mini Votives
What you’ll need: Glass votive holders, scented jar candles, rocks for drainage at the base of each votive holder, plantable paper, or flower seeds.
How to do it: Put down your rocks for drainage in the base of each votive holder. Next, pour in just enough water to reach the rim of the votive holder and place your candles inside. Now, take your paper or seed packets and tear off small bite-sized pieces that will fit inside each holder with the edges sticking out above the rim of each holder. The size will vary depending on your flowers or plants so experiment with different pieces to see what works best! Light your candles, place your paper or seeds inside, and watch them grow!
3. Mini Rose Garland
What you’ll need: Floral tape, scissors, ribbon, 3 roses per foot of ribbon, glass vase.
How to do it: Start by folding your ribbon in half and cutting along the fold with a small amount hanging over on each side of the cut. Next, attach your first rose to the center of one end of your doubled ribbon and bind it together with floral tape. Place the unbound side of the ribbon in the vase and add the next rose to the center of one end of your ribbon. Bind together with floral tape and then place in the vase. Add the third flower in this way and place it in your vase to complete your mini rose garland!
