A floral surprise with a heartfelt message
On 26 June, it's that time of year again: together with our many partner florists, we're handing out unexpected joy in the form of small bouquets throughout Germany that can be found and taken home. To make your little gesture really stand out, we'll show you how you can use a simple trick to make beautiful vases from old jam jars or preserving jars for your little bouquets for Lonely Bouquet Day.
Materials required:
- Jam jars or preserving jars
- Board markers in different colours
- Natural thread
- Flowers of your choice (you can get these from your local florist)
- The printed template for the tags
Instructions for the surprise bouquets
Step 1: Write the message on the glass
Firstly, write the message you want to send to the recipient of the bouquet on the glass. It can simply be "Lonely Bouquet Day 2022", "For you", "Take me with you", painted flowers or hearts. There are no limits to your creativity.
Step 2: Arrange the flowers in the glass
Then arrange the flowers in the jar as you like best.
Step 3: Decorate the glass and attach the pendant
Finally, you can decorate the glass a little, e.g. with a small bow made from natural thread. You should also attach the small tag there later. The finder can then see from the note that the bouquet is to go and that it is intended to bring them joy.
That's it!
And now you're ready to hand out the bouquets on Lonely Bouquet Day. We recommend that you choose a shady, cool spot for the bouquets so that the finder can enjoy the flowers for a long time. Happy Lonely Bouquet Day!
