The great thing about making one of these is that you can use so many different kinds of liquor and you can add a lot of things to make it more personal. I went to the liquor store and grabbed a variety of airplane bottles because he just turned 21 so he shouldn't know what kind he likes yet, right? ;) Having a variety is a good way to make it eye-appealing and different. It could also be cute to make one with all the same bottles to look more uniform.
Supplies:
-Liquor bottles
-Stems/plastic flowers
-Vase
-Glue Gun
-Styrofoam base
Additional supplies that could be used:
-Money
-Candy
-Gift cards
The first thing I did was cut the Styrofoam base so that it fit into the bottom of the base. I cut it down but made sure it was tall enough so the stems would be secured. Next, I cut the stems of some of the plastic flowers and glued the back of the liquor bottles to the stem. It is a good idea to glue them a little lower on the stem so they aren't too heavy on the very top. I secured them with twist ties to keep them in place while the glue dried.
After putting the stems in the vase, I added some flowers and loose leaves to make it look more like a plant. and voilà! Happy 21st Birthday William!
It could be really cute to add some of the person's favorite candy or roll dollar bills into flower shapes. I don't think this is going to be my last bouquet!
Love,
This is the most creative thing I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Great idea, and I like the fact that you can be creative with what grows on the plant. I'm hoping for a money bouquet!
