What You'll Need:

Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Cut a section of flowers from the main bunch. The bunch should be approximately 10” high.
- Rubber band the bottom of the bunch together.
Step 2:
- Fill the shaker halfway with sand.
- Insert the bundled flowers into the sand.
Step 3:
- Cut a 24” length of jute and saturate it with watercolor. Let dry. Tip: Lay the jute on a plate to protect your work surface. Use a paintbrush loaded with color and dab it along the jute. Choose a color to match your flowers.
Step 4:
- Cut four 11” pieces of burlap ribbon (see inset photo). Hot glue the seams together to make one piece.
Step 5:
- Trim the length of the burlap piece to 10”. Cut off both raw edges to create crisp edges.
- Center the arrangement in the middle of the burlap piece.
Step 6:
- Fold the burlap up around the shaker, keeping seams and folds even.
- Tie the jute around the shaker to hold the burlap in place. Make a bow and trim off any excess length.
