Christmas Small Mug Floral Arrangement
A fun Christmas gift idea is to put a small fresh flower arrangement together in a holiday mug. Use wet floral foam as the base of the design. First cover the foam with leather leaf, none of the floral foam should be showing. Put a few taller pieces towards the back of the mug. Then fill in moving towards the front with smaller pieces of leather, creating a sort of fan shape. The arrangement can either be all the way around or one sided. If it is one sided, you still need to cover the floral foam in the back with the leather leaf.
When no floral foam is showing, begin adding the flowers. Start with three white carnations, all cut at different heights. then add a three white carnations. Use two stems of red pixie carnations. Cut each individual blossom from the stem and insert these in the floral foam around the design. Then add some baby's breath. Again, cut each sprig off the main stem so you have more to work with. Last add some red hypericum berries. You could also add some cedar or other evergreen to the design. Watch this step by step video for complete instructions. This small design is charming and will delight the receiver of such a gift.
