\"3This one’s with that soon upcoming holiday in mind, particularly for some galentines you might want to do something cute for that’s easy\u00a0and thoughtful and\u00a0CUTE gotta make sure I say cute.\u00a0 I love<\/em> gifting flowers for any occasion, and like with all gifted things, putting your own sauce\u00a0on the presentation makes it a lot more special, even when it’s as simple as these few ideas.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with\u00a0what flowers I used.<\/p>\n

\"flowerNot your typical V-Day color scheme, but I still think it’s romantic (sure, be romantic with your gal pals).\u00a0 It’s definitely a moodier bunch of florals, which I like\u00a0for being on the unexpected side, but really any flowers are game and should be whatever you find beautiful, always.<\/p>\n

\nBurlap wrap<\/strong>

\"blackStarting with the flowers bunched and tied together with a rubber band, lay the bottom half on top of the burlap<\/a> roll (mine is about 6″ in width) and roll it up like a burrito. \u00a0Cut off the excess burlap after one roll, then tie a bow around the burlap with raffia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paper \u00a0Wrap with Loop Tie
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"CraftCut a rectangular piece of kraft paper<\/a>\u00a0and place the flowers at one corner. \u00a0Wrap the paper over the flowers from the left side, then fold up the paper from the bottom, and lastly fold the paper over from the right and wrap it around the entire bundle.<\/p>\n

\"loopFor the loop tie, I cut a thin strip of that burlap<\/a> and used it like ribbon (yea I’m really into this black burlap). \u00a0A loop tie is the same as tying a bow for\u00a0your shoe laces, only the second loop\u00a0is pulled all the way through, which ties a knot around the\u00a0first loop. \u00a0Cut off as much of the excess as desired.<\/p>\n

\"craft
\nString Wrap<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"juteKnot a loop into the string, then slip the loop onto one of the flower stems (all the stems should already be tied together with a rubber band). \u00a0Wrap the string around all the stems in a single layer moving upward. \u00a0Once you’ve covered as much of the stems as desired, wrap the string back down to the center of the wrapping and tie a bow.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

This one’s my favorite and won the coveted spot for the hand-held photo.<\/p>\n

\"3
\nI made bouquets in varying sizes, but an idea I really love (and did last year!) is going miniature. \u00a0You can cover a lot more people that way and\u00a0they make\u00a0perfect favors for a larger get-together. \u00a0Wrap them in any of the ways shown here, just on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n

Do you have a Galentine’s Day tradition? \u00a0Or any V-Day tradition? \u00a0It’s probably the holiday with the least amount of tradition for me,\u00a0so it’s\u00a0interesting to hear what\u00a0others\u00a0do for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
