    How to Arrange Grocery Store Flowers

    Want to make your own DIY flower arrangement? Here's what you'll need:

    • 1 or 2 Cheap Bouquets of Flowers (from a grocery store, bodega, etc.)
    • Glass Containers (such as mason jars, glasses, petite vases, and upcycled food jars.)
    • Scissors

    Step by step instructions for making an easy and inexpensive flower arrangement! All you need is a supermarket bouquet of flowers and a collection of glass jars! | Hello Little Home

    Start by filling your glass jars about ¾ full and by removing any leaves from the flower stems (I just pull or cut them off).

    Create a small bouquet in your hand. It should be taller in the middle and shorter on the sides.

    Hold the flowers up against the jar you plan to display them in. This will help you gauge where to cut the stems.

    Trim the stems on an angle using the scissors.

    Give yourself a little wiggle room. It's easy to trim the ends shorter, if needed, but impossible to make them longer.

    Arrange the flowers in the containers. As you do, trim more length from the stems, if needed.

    Repeat with the remaining flowers.

    I separated the flowers by color. But you could certainly mix a variety of colors together in each container, too.

    Play with the arrangement of the flowers until you have a pleasing display. And that's all there is to it ... so simple, right?

    I grouped the jars together, but you could spread these mini flower arrangements throughout your home or around a room, too. Wouldn't that look pretty?

    If you like to collect interesting jars (my cupboards are full), this is the perfect way to use them!

    This is a great way to make a pretty display without having to use a lot of flowers. I also like that it is low so that if you are seated at the table your view of others isn't blocked.

    I've never tried making the bouquet in my hand before cutting the stems. For some reason I always eyeball the stems one at a time and cut them but I will definitely try this trick next time!

    I like this idea! I can never seem to get a bouquet to look right in a vase, but even I could do this!
