water vases

currently obsessed with: "can't help falling in love" covered by ingrid michaelson


last week i made a few flower arrangements as gifts to some sweet people in my life.. these are really simple to make, affordable, and (i think) add a more personal touch of thoughtfulness than your typical present.


here's an easy step-by-step process on how to make them:
1. use clear mason jars*
2. add flower food and fill the water halfway up in the jars
3.  add the largest bunch of flowers in first (in this case it was the baby's breath)**
4. place the decorative flowers around it -- here i used my favorite: gerber daisies**
5. tie a simple ribbon around the jars

* i always keep some on hand from spaghetti sauce, olive, or pickle jars -- just use goo gone to get rid of those labels!
** make sure to always cut your flower stems diagonally


now all you have to do is write a handwritten note on some pretty stationary and you're all set :)
