Collect some jars
they don’t have to be all the same~
3 quart jars, 3 pint jars and 1 bud vase in the center
Fill the jars half way with water and form a cluster. Tie together with a ribbon
I put 3 large hydrangea blooms in the 3 quart jars
and then filled in with shorter stems of alstromeria in the pint jars
In the center I used tall stems of fat green blooms~ I don’t know their proper name 😳
and then I tucked in some purple Peeps on wooden skewers and a moss bunny
this is not easy to transfer so place it on a tray if you like
and try it out in various spots!
my yard is slowly coming to life
I am hoping to have flowers planted and growing soon so I won’t have to import them!
You can also create smaller arrangements with 2 or 3 jars
I think it’s fun to use different sizes and/or colors
Try burlap ribbon or twine
I stumbled across these handy little Mason jar accessories the other day
These frog lid grids sit perfectly under the jar rim to hold your stems in place
You don’t have to tie the jars together
Just place the jars in a grouping and you still have the effect of a large bouquet
Don’t you just love endless possibilities?
