Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tea cup
• Tea cup saucer (optional)
• Knife
• Floral foam
• Mix of fresh flowers
• Green floral filler
• Moss
• Ribbon (optional)

1. Select a tea cup, with or without a saucer. It can be a cup that will coordinate with the colors in your furniture or other home decor. If giving the tea cup to a friend, select a design she'll like or consider flowers she'll enjoy.

2. Cut floral foam to fit in the tea cup. Consider the size in relation to the floral arrangements that you're creating. If you're doing a topiary or have long-stemmed flowers, then you may want the foam a bit lower than the rim of the tea cup.

3. Mix and match a variety of fresh flowers and green filler. Insert the stems into the floral foam at varying heights based on size.

4. Cover floral foam with moss if your flower arrangement does not cover the foam completely. A delicately-arranged ribbon helps to hide floral foam as well.

5. Accessorize your flower arrangement. If giving your tea cup flower arrangements as gifts, ribbons are nice.
