Every flower has a story, and here, each button and patterned bloom carries a memory stitched into its shape.
By arranging these handmade blossoms in a painted yogurt jar, you create not just a craft, but a keepsake. It’s the kind of piece that feels alive with personality, a garden that doesn’t need watering, only appreciation.
With its quirky mix of textures and colors, it’s both rustic and modern, a bouquet of imagination that never loses its beauty.
Materials Needed
- 1 yogurt jar (5 oz, painted with acrylic paint, navy blue or your choice)
- 12–15 button or fabric flowers (1-2″ diameter, attached to wire stems)
- Floral wire (18-20 gauge, 12-15 pieces, 6-8″ long)
- Floral tape (1 roll, green)
- Floral moss (about 1 cup)
- Hot glue gun and 2-3 glue sticks
- Small embellishment or charm (e.g., heart with “Love” message, 1-2″)
- Optional: foam block or clay
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Clean your yogurt jar and paint the outside with acrylic paint. Then apply 2 coats for an even finish, letting it dry fully between layers.
Step 2: Prepare your flower stems by attaching buttons, fabric cutouts, or decorative pieces to floral wire. You can wrap the base with floral tape to secure.
Step 3: Place a small foam block or clay inside the jar to hold stems upright.
Then insert the wired flowers, arranging them in layers including taller ones in the middle, shorter ones around the edges.
Step 4: Cover the base with moss to hide wires and give a lush, earthy finish. Secure it with hot glue if needed.
Step 5: Add a charm or small embellishment to the jar for extra personality.
Step 6: Step back and adjust your bouquet until it feels balanced, full, and playful.
Tips:
You can use patterned fabric scraps, vintage buttons, or even metal charms to make each flower unique.
This bouquet makes a heartfelt handmade gift, especially for those who love quirky, nontraditional décor.
