I found these really cute large coffee mugs at the dollar store and wanted to find something creative to do with them. Since the kids were still in school, I decided to make mini flower arrangements out of each coffee cup and send them to all the teachers. They can be used for Thank You gifts, Birthday gifts, Get Well gifts , a Random act of Kindness or simply to make someone Smile.
Items needed:
Large Coffee Mugs {spent $1 on each mug)
Wet Foam (used a 40% off coupon at Micheal’s cost $3.24)
Peat Moss (found at dollar store $1)
Large Flower Bouquet with lots of Greenery ($9.99)
Total Cost to make 10 Mug Flower Arrangements = $24.23
That is Less than $2.50 each! What a great price for something that looks so pretty and brings so much joy to those who receive the flowers.
Gather Materials
Cut Foam to the size of your mug
Make sure they fit. Then pour water over the foam to keep fresh flowers moist. If you have dried flowers, be sure to use the dry foam and DO NOT Water.
Cut Fresh flowers under running water to the size desired. Place in foam.
Start with the largest or Focal Point Flower first then make sure to use fillers to complete your look.
Use PEAT Moss to finish. Place a small amount around the outside of the coffee mug.
Finished Products:
See, it really was not hard at all.
The gifts are ready for giving.
