Whether you make your own bouquet or buy one from a shop, you can wrap it up to display your personality and creativity.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Ribbons
  • Scarves
  • City Maps
  • Old Newspapers
  • Decorative Paper
  • Scrap Papers

Step1
Consider wrapping flowers in different vases. Creative options include wire wrapped into coils, old lamps with wiring removed, collages created from paper towel tubes, old Pringle canisters or milk cartons.
Step2
Bind stems with ribbon, silk scarves, colored strings or wires, or scraps of unusual material including leather, satin, comics, newspapers, art paper, butcher wrap, bubble wrap and calendars.
Step3
Fit the wrap to the occasion: good-bye bouquets wrapped in colorful maps, anniversary flowers in wedding day newspapers or graduation roses in book covers with a graduation tassel.
Step4
Wrap Mother's Day flowers in a chef's apron or rock climber's rope. Fiancés get white tulips wrapped up with a wedding cake figure tied to the ribbon.
Step5
Keep in mind that craft stores are full of inexpensive baubles to dress up a flower gift.

Tips & Warnings

  • Layers of tissue paper are a perfect wrap, as are tissue boxes covered with decoupage.
