So you’re walking
through the aisles of a grocery store and you see some flowers that actually
look halfway decent. Sure, you could find better quality flowers at a florist
or perhaps elsewhere, but there’s an art to making grocery store flowers look
presentable.
At
ApartmentTherapy.com, we found a fantastic guide written by Tess Wilson, on how
to arrange cheap grocery store flowers into an arrangement that can really make
your apartment pop. The first thing you’ll need to do is grab all the flowers
of the same color that you can get your hands on:
1. Strip all of the leaves off the stems, including the long leaves.
2. Arrange the stems in your hand. Try to get the flowers to look natural, yet random. At this point, the stems should still be long.
3. Decide on a vase to use, and then chop the stems down to an appropriate length for the vase - if in doubt, leave the stems longer than shorter, so there’s room to cut if they’re still too long. Secure the arrangement with a rubber band, and make some final trimmings.
