Supplies:

  • Floral Foam
  • Toothpicks
  • Beverage bottles/cans
  • Candy, lollipops, gum
  • Curling Ribbon

  • Hot glue gun & glue sticks
  • Optional-cupcake liners, plastic Easter eggs

Step #1)

Cut a piece of the floral foam to fit right on top of the can then hot glue the foam onto the top of the beverage can.

Hint: invert the can and make an impression of the can’s top onto the foam as shown in the picture then cut around the impression.

If using a foam ball for a bottle, cut the bottom portion off to make it flat then using a melon baller, scoop out enough of the foam to fit perfectly on top of a beverage bottle. This step can be messy, but cutting it on a cutting board will make it easier to clean up the debris.

*Optional: Cover the foam with a cupcake liner. I often use so much ribbon that I skip this step.

Step #2)

Hot glue picks onto the candy and plastic eggs if using them. When dry randomly place picks, lollipops and plastic eggs into the foam.

Step #3)

Cut ribbon about 5 inches in length, tie onto a toothpick, curl with scissors and place the ribbon pick into the foam covering the bare spots.

*Optional: Design a special greeting card to add to the bouquet. I like to print out a small greeting, cover with packing tape or contact paper, cut it out and glue it to a toothpick to insert into the foam.
