2. DIY Mother’s Day bouquet tutorial

With this DIY Mother’s Day flower bouquet idea, you just need to follow the following 9 steps to get a beautiful bouquet for your mother. Includes steps:

2.1. Step 1: Choose your flowers

The first step for a DIY Mother’s Day bouquet is to choose very fresh and beautiful flowers. You can consider choosing peonies that are clearly the focal flower. Also, flowers like ranunculus, tulips, roses, freesia, billy balls, and even carnations make excellent secondary blooms. You can use hydrangea or aster as filler in bouquets because they take up a lot of space. Besides, spray roses and stock also work well! Any kind of greenery will do.

2.2. Step 2: Remove Leaves

An important step that you should not skip when making the DIY Mother’s Day bouquet is removing leaves. This step helps the water to travel directly to the flower rather than stopping at any of the leaves along the way up the stem.

2.3. Step 3: Trim Stems

This is important when you make a DIY bouquet for Mother’s Day. Because the diagonal cut allows the flowers to drink water more easily. You just need to trim the stems at this point, and you’ll cut them down further later.

2.4. Step 4: Separate your flowers by type

When doing this step, you will know how many of each flower you have. Then, you place each type in a glass or vase filled with water while you design your DIY Mother’s Day bouquet. This helps the flowers stay fresher and not wilt as quickly.

2.5. Step 5: Arrange your flowers

For this fifth step of the tutorial on making your DIY Mother’s Day bouquet, follow these steps:

• To begin, you choose one of each flower.
• First, add your focal flower.
• Then, you add a secondary flower or two.
• Finally, add your filler flowers except for hydrangea.
• Add the greenery next, turn your bouquet slightly, and continue to add flowers. Make sure your focal flowers are evenly distributed throughout. The goal is for your bouquet to look similar regardless of which direction you turn it!

2.6. Step 6: Wrap a rubber band or hair tie around your bouquet

You should wrap a rubber band or a hair tie around your bouquet because they keep the flowers together. Most flower shops and grocery stores both do this, so it’s a pro tip! Please take a look!

2.7. Step 7: Wrap a paper towel around your bouquet

Let’s move to the next step of making a DIY flower bouquet for Mother’s Day! You need to dampen a paper towel but don’t soak it! Then, you place it around your flowers. This step will keep them near a water source until your mother pops flowers into a nice vase.

2.8. Step 8: Add a sandwich bag

In this step for making your DIY Mother’s Day bouquet, you use a sandwich bag and wrap it around the part where you wrap the flower with a damp paper towel. This will keep the stem moist and hydrated with the water absorbed in the paper towel. Then, you use a rubber band or hair tie to keep this in place.

2.9. Step 9: Wrap & tie it up

We recommend using tissue paper because they come in various fun colors, patterns, and shapes and are extremely easy to work with. Stand your bouquet up in the center of the tissue paper (make sure the patterned/shiny side is not facing up). Next, let’s wrap the tissue paper around the sides of the bouquet. 

This covers the blooms and exposes the shiny/patterned side of the tissue paper. Finally, tie the tissue paper with a ribbon, and you have the best Mother’s Day bouquet ever. This is also the final step in making a DIY Mother’s Day bouquet tutorial!
