Wrap It Up
Wrapping a bouquet may seem daunting at first, but it is actually pretty simple as long as you follow the steps carefully.
- Arrange your flowers depending on how you want them to appear as a bouquet.
- Cut 3 squares of wrapping paper making sure that the entire arrangement sits perfectly in the middle.
- Place the squares diagonally and the arrangement in the middle, with the tip of one square at the top part of the flowers.
- Wrap the squares around the arrangement at the bottom while making sure to open the top part of the wrapping papers outwards and avoid crumpling.
- Continue adding wrapping paper until you are satisfied with how the bouquet looks.
- Add layers of the wrapping paper to the bottom part of the bouquet, towards the stem, and wrap it around.
- Once you are satisfied, tie the entire arrangement with a ribbon until it’s entirely secure.
