prep long lasting bouquets with household items ❤️💐

commercial bouquets are super expensive, but sometimes you just dont have the time to prep a bouquet from scratch with the full works of crepe paper & all that.. so here’s my 5min solution using household items!

💐WHAT YOU NEED💐

- flowers (these were from the supermarket!)

- cotton balls/cotton pads

- ziplock bags

- tape

- ribbon (optional)

- shears are good to have!

💐STEPS💐

1. cut about 1cm off the bottom of the stems at a 45 degree ish diagonal (this gets rid of the dried up bit so there’s surface tension for water absorption)

2. soak ur cotton in water & wrap it around the stems

3. add a little bit of water into your ziplocks and put it over the cotton

4. zip the bags & tape them down to the stems

5. tie a ribbon over to hide the tape!

& thats all!! this way you can re-use the plastic packaging the flowers come in, make them look pretty, and keep them fresh and plump alll the way till the recipient takes them home :)

hope this helped!! ❤️
