How To Make a Mother’s Day Flower Arrangement in a Cup:
- Cut the Styrofoam to fit your container. I stood a block of the Styrofoam next to the mug to gauge size and cut it so it would stand approximately 1 inch above the container. Then using a knife, carefully trim the excess until it fits into your mug.
- Hot glue the Styrofoam to the bottom inside of the mug. For this project I used my glue skillet.
- Start adding your silk flowers to the Styrofoam. I began with a sunflower. Add hot glue to the stem and insert it into the Styrofoam.
- Next, I added a bush of yellow flowers and greenery to the center. Tip: As you add your silk flowers, remember to place them in various angles and heights. You don’t want all of your flowers straight up and down.
- Continue adding flowers filling in empty areas.
- For a beautiful finished look, add in rattan balls and greenery to fill in and cover Styrofoam.
- That is all there is to it! You now have a beautiful arrangement for Mother’s Day.
