Make It Monday: Flower Gift Box

Posted by Jessica Walton on 10th Oct 2016

Another beautiful floral display using our artificial silks presented in a neat gift box. Here's everything you'll need to make one of our flower gift boxes.

You will need:

Flower Box Square Black (find in store)

Organza Ribbon Glitter Heart Fuchsia 38 mm x 10 m

X2 Foam Brick 23 x 11 x 8 cm Oasis

Finland Moss Green 500 g

Artificial Premier Hydrangea Damson 68 cm

Artificial Plane Tree Fruit Green 250 Grams (find in store)

White Prestige Orchid 100 cm

Pins Diamond Heart Rose

Step One

Wrap some ribbon around the box and tie into a bow.

Do the same with the lid.

Step Two

Insert two bricks of dry foam, they should fit snugly. This will hold the artificial flowers in place.

Step Three

Cover the foam with a layer of Finland moss to disguise it.

Step Four

Cut your hydrangea into smaller pieces and begin to cover the layer of moss.

Step Five

Once completely covered, add some green plane tree fruit sporadically to give some texture and new colour.

Step Six

Trim off some of the heads of your orchid and spread them over the top layer. Use big and small heads for variation. Once you're happy with the placement of the orchid heads glue them into position using a glue gun.

Step Seven

Insert some diamond heart pins throughout the floral display to finish.

The lid should fit snugly over the finished design to create a lovely surprise gift of flowers. And there we have it! Your very own flower gift box. Show us how you've used these versatile boxes on Twitter at @countrybaskets or on Facebook at @CountryBaskets and we'll repost our favourites!
