| Don't have money to spend on a fresh bouquet like this? No stress!
|
 |
| Find a friend that has a few rose bushes! Ask them if you can pick a few for a bouquet you're making. You can help bribe them to let you "trim their rose bushes" by telling them you'll make them one too while you're out there! Who doesn't want a fresh flower bouquet? :0) *(I personally found my flowers in my Grandmother's rose garden! I didn't mind picking flowers for free and she didn't mind a new fresh flower bouquet on her counter! It was a win-win situation:) |

Fresh Flower Bouquet
 |
| Start by finding a few different colors of roses or flowers (2-3 is just fine). Then cut each rose off the bush at a slight angle. (Be sure to remove thorns and lower leaves). Find some that have blossomed and some that are budded. Then start adding them together one by one into a handful. You want to make your handful nice and tight - the tighter it is, the prettier and more fuller it looks in the vase. Make sure the bouquet has variety through out it. Try to mix up the colors a bit. Add height and width by picking large flowers and small flowers and by trimming the stems off at different lengths. Pour luke-warm or cool water into the vase about 3/4 full, then add your tight handful of flowers. At this point you can always add some greenery to the outsides and back of the bouquet, by trimming a few stems of just leaves from the same bush. Wallah, you have yourself a nice rose bouquet! A perfect center-piece for your kitchen table! |
