Bouquets With Faux Birds

Creating memorable floral bouquets is a fun activity for any occasion, whether it's for a holiday or a wedding. This is a perfect option when decorating for spring events. Capitalize on the seasonal theme by adding small, fake birds to the bouquets. It's a creative look that evokes the feeling of nature. Make bouquets with faux birds using pre-made bird's nests, pastel flowers and faux blue jays.

Things You'll Need

• Foam flower holder
• Pre-made bird's nest basket
• 2 artificial vines
• Hot glue gun
• Glue
• Hyacinths
• White roses
• Pink roses
• 2 faux blue jay birds

Instructions

1. Put a foam flower holder in the center of a large, pre-made bird's nest basket.

2. Glue two artificial vines to the sides of the bird's nest. Use a hot glue gun to put a dab of it on opposite ends of the bird's nest basket. Stick the ends of the vines into the glue, and hold them in place for 60 seconds. If it does not seem secure, add more hot glue to the ends of the vines.

3. Cut the stems of hyacinths, white roses and pink roses so that they are 3 to 4 inches long. Use approximately eight flowers inside of each bouquet.

4. Stick the ends of the flowers into the foam flower holder. Arrange them as you wish.

5. Add two faux blue jays to your flower arrangement. Stick the stake attached to each bird firmly into the foam flower holder.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't use too much hot glue, as it will look crusty.
