Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Materials
First, I gather all my materials. I have my beautiful vase, a selection of photos that make me smile, some vibrant flowers, florist foam, scissors, water, a lovely ribbon, glitter for that extra sparkle, adhesive, and some cute photo holders.
Step 2: Prepare the Florist Foam
Next, I cut the florist foam to fit snugly in the bottom of my vase. I want it to hold the flowers perfectly while also providing a soft foundation for my photos.
Step 3: Insert the Florist Foam
I carefully place the foam into the vase and make sure it’s secure. Now it’s time to add a splash of water to keep my flowers fresh and happy!
Step 4: Add the Flowers
I bunch together my favorite flowers and start arranging them in the foam. I put the taller ones at the back and the shorter ones at the front to create a lovely layered look.
Step 5: Prepare the Photos
I select the best photos. These images evoke great memories and smiles! I may need to trim them a bit using the scissors, just to make sure they fit perfectly around my arrangement.
Step 6: Attach the Photos
Using the photo holders or clips, I attach my photos and insert them into the florist foam, ensuring they stay upright and are clearly visible. This adds a personal touch!
Step 7: Add Decorative Elements
Now for the fun part: I sprinkle some glitter or decorative elements around the base of the flowers to make my photo vase shimmer. It looks so joyful and eye-catching!
Step 8: Finish with Ribbon
To complete my delightful photo vase, I tie a beautiful ribbon or twine around the neck of the vase. This adds a charming touch and holds everything together perfectly.
Step 9: Display and Enjoy!
Finally, I find the perfect spot to display my delightful photo vase and step back to appreciate my creation. It’s a beautiful blend of flowers and memories that brightens up my space!
