Ingredients

  • fresh strawberries
  • lollipop sticks
  • styrofoam
  • flower vase

Instructions

  • Wash the strawberries well, and stick them onto the lollipop sticks so that the leaves are on the bottom, and the ends are pointing upwards.
  • When slicing the strawberries, keep in mind not to fully slice down, and ensure that you only slice ¾ of the way downward, to keep the petals attached. Make 4 vertical slices on the bottom half of the strawberries, and gently fan them out. Make four more slices mid-way up the strawberries, and slice them so that they fill in the spaces between the lower petals. Take a look at your roses and add any extra slices if you feel it is necessary.
  • Place a piece of styrofoam into the base of a vase. Choose a size that will fit into the vase snugly, and not shift. Begin to stick the roses into the ball, and trim any lollipop sticks if you would like to make them shorter.
  • Store your bouquet in the fridge until you are ready to give them as a present.
