You may recall a couple years ago there were photos floating around the internet of Hello Kitty bouquets. About a week ago I stumbled upon one and was curious if the bouquets were available for sale anywhere. To my dismay, I couldn’t find anyone selling the flowers so I decided to make one of my own. It was surprisingly easy to make so I’m sharing the process with all of you.
Disclosure: I’m not a florist. There might be better methods to making this. This is a tutorial on how I created the bouquet.
Supplies:
4 White Carnations
2 Plastic Black Shank Buttons – if you can find an oval shape even better
1 Plastic Yellow Shank Button
1 Sheet of White Craft Foam
Black Card Stock
Straight Pins
Fabric Glue
Tape
Green Floral Tape
Floral Wire
Red Ribbon

Tightly bind 4 carnations together with some floral tape. You want it too look like one giant carnation so try to avoid any gaps.

Wrap wire around the back of all three buttons (refer to picture). The wire tail should be about 2 1/2″.
