With over 1.1 million TikTok views, a DIY 'bouquet bar' offers the perfect opportunity to spend a memorable 'craft-ernoon' together making beautiful floral arrangements!

Flower Letters
Looking for a unique twist on the classic bouquet to celebrate Mom? Try creating flower letters. We’ve seen these all over TikTok with over 2.2 million views! I’m not surprised as I’ve actually made these for a TV segment and they were an absolute hit!
Not only are they easy to DIY, but they’re also high-impact. Plus, you can display them in so many ways—as a centerpiece, on a mantel, a bookshelf, or even hanging on the wall or your front door.
Start by picking up cardboard or metal letters from your local craft store.
If you’re using fresh flowers, cut pieces of floral foam to fit the back of each letter. Be sure to soak the foam in water before placing it inside the letters. Then, trim the stems to about an inch long and begin inserting them into the foam— just like that, you’ve got a gorgeous flower letter!
Most any flower works beautifully - go for a single variety like roses , Gerbera daisies or carnations (my fave super-affordable flower!) or mix it up with assorted blooms from a bountiful bouquet.
For faux flowers, you can skip the foam and simply use hot glue to secure the stems.
This idea is also inspired by our beautiful Magnificent Roses Preserved Mom Gift Box, and for a step-by-step guide, check out our detailed tutorial on the Petal Talk blog
Pressed Flowers
A beautiful way to preserve the magic of a Mother’s Day bouquet and turn it into a lasting keepsake? Framed pressed flowers! This DIY craft is simple, yet stunning. And talk about trending, #Pressedflowers has garnered over 104 million TikTok views!.
Start by selecting your favorite blooms and pressing them. You can do this quickly in the microwave (it only takes about a minute) or for a more traditional method, press them between the pages of a heavy book (which takes a couple of weeks).
Next, choose a frame that suits your style. You can opt for a classic frame or go with a clear one, depending on the look you're aiming for. Arrange the pressed flowers on the back of the frame, then add the glass and top of the frame—and voilà! Your bouquet is now a work of art.
