Now presenting... how to make a festive floral arrangement! Whether to put on display or give as a gift, make your holiday bouquet look like a lovely present with this easy step-by-step guide.

SUPPLIES:

• 1 box, approximately 4 inches high with a 5x5-inch base
• 1 medium deli cup (pint size)
  • Note: This is a great way to upcycle containers from our Deli Department!
• Wrapping paper
• Tape
• 2 yards of ribbon
• 1 Neve Bros. bouquet
• Extra greens or flowers, optional 

PREPARATION:

1. Wrap the outside of the box with wrapping paper, leaving the top open.
2. Place deli cup in the box.
3. Tie ribbon around the box like a gift, creating a cross at both the top and bottom, then tie a big bow on top.
4. Carefully pour about 1½ inches of clean water into the deli cup.
5. Divide bouquet into four equal bundles, then arrange each in your hand to make a mini dome bouquet. (You can rubber band the stems loosely to help hold the arrangements.)
6. Trim each bouquet down to approximately 8 inches tall.
7. Place one bouquet in each quadrant of the box with the ends in the cup of water, letting the flowers rest at an angle against the corners of the box.
8. Add additional greens or flowers if desired, then fluff up the bow in the center.

Pro Tip: You can also make this arrangement for different holidays and celebrations year-round by choosing different flowers, giftwrap and ribbons!
