- Dollarama (square vase, ribbon, plastic flowers and a foam brick)
INSTRUCTIONS (to make the one on the bottom)
STEP 1:
- Use a knife and cut out a small piece (about 2 inches thick) from your foam brick and trim the sides so it fits perfectly at the bottom of your vase (if needed)
STEP 2:
- Using pliers, snip the flowers and leaves so that the stem of each flower is a bit longer than the height of your vase
STEP 3:
- Start arranging your flowers by placing them in the vase and use the foam at the bottom to make sure your flower stands upright
*tip- start with the bigger and more eye-catching flowers that you would like to use as the center of your piece so that it'll be easier to decide where to place the other pieces
- For the main red flowers, I used 5 of them- one sticking out from each side of the vase and one in the center (for a layer effect, the one in the center sticks out higher than the rest)
STEP 4:
- Add the other flowers and plants that you have chosen
- For this piece, I used three stems of gold leaves to surround the red flower in the middle, and two gold pine cones, placed at opposite corners of the vase
STEP 5:
- Measure your ribbon around the vase and cut out two separate pieces that are long enough to wrap all the way around the vase
- Next, glue/tape the ribbon strategically so that it covers the foam brick at the bottom
- Finally, tie a nice bow and tape/glue it to the front
*TIP:
- If you used tape like I did and realized that some of the tape is sticking out, then you can try placing another decoration (i.e. a piece of leaf) in middle of the bow (see below)
- If you like the design of the arrangement beneath, just follow the steps above but select different accompanying pieces
