When my daughter’s Holy Communion was coming up I just knew I had to make her bouquet myself! This bouquet was so easy to make, turned out so pretty and it cost only a fraction of what I would have spent to buy a ready-made bouquet locally. You only need four materials including the artificial flowers which I ordered from eBay. I used white roses for this project given the occasion but this bouquet can be easily customised to your liking with any kind of flower!

Materials

• Artificial flowers (mine came in a pre-made bundle)
• White long candle
• White satin ribbon (about 50cm should be ideal)
• Fabric glue

Method

Position the flowers around the centre of the candle and wrap the ‘stems’ around the base of the candle.

Apply some fabric glue to the base of the candle where the flower ‘stems’ wrap around it.

Carefully start wrapping the white ribbon around the base of the candle covering the flower stems and applying more fabric glue as needed.

Trim any excess ribbon and ensure that the ends are secured with the fabric glue (don’t worry if the glue seems like it has ‘stained’ the ribbon – it won’t be visible once the glue dries!).

Leave it to dry for a couple of hours or overnight and your bouquet is done!
