Customize a Store-Bought Bouquet for Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2013 by madincrafts Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
 
 

 

Tulips are my favorite flower.  No roses, no lillies, no gerbera daisies for this girl.  I love the sleek, architectural beauty of tulips.  My husband and I aren’t an uber-romantic couple, but when he does get me flowers he always remembers to buy tulips.  It’s important that he get cut tulips since I have such a terrible track record with houseplants.  Give me a love fern, and I will have killed it in under a week.

 
To make store-bought flowers a bit more special, you can add a little DIY touch to it. I made some quick clay hearts using pantry staples to customize the bouquet.  You can too!
Bake Clay Hearts
I used the same recipe and process for these hearts that I did for the clay ornaments I made around Christmas, minus the glitter.  You can get kids involved in this craft because it’s just like making  cut-out cookies!
 

Form Hearts around Foil

For a few of the hearts, I rolled up a length of aluminum foil and laid the clay hearts over it.  This gave the hearts a little bit of dimension.  Bake the hearts at 175 for an hour and let them cool.
 

Decorate Clay Hearts

After the hearts cooled, I decorated them with gold and silver permanent markers. Again, you could get kiddos involved in the decorating process (just be careful — PERMANENT markers, remember?).
 

DIY Clay Hearts

 
You can use these little hearts in a bunch of different ways.  I turned them into floral picks, vase embellishments, and table scatter!
 

Add the hearts to pics

I glued two hearts to wooden skewers and added them to the display of flowers.
 

Add Clay Hearts to Vase

I glued another heart to the front of the glass vase.
Valentine's Day Bouquet
Finally I scattered a few more hearts on the table around the vase.  It makes for a cute, personal-looking gift that is different from all the other grocery store or floral shop bouquets that will be handed out on Valentine’s Day.
