Your favorite glasses or containers or baskets
Pair of garden gloves (and/or other May activities)
Garden tool
Decorative ribbon
Water tube
Candy
Seed Packets
*Optional - a silver Tussie Mussie i.e. holds fresh flowers that can be in a glass or container or hung with ribbon
Instructions
- Choose your favorite wine glasses, water glasses, beer glasses, decorated water glasses or your favorite containers, that match your May theme.
- Take a pair of garden gloves and wrap or tie them with a decorative ribbon around a water tube with a fresh flower. Add candy.
- Place seed packets in a glass or may basket, add a flower in a water tube, or any custom item like a garden tool.
*Optional - Silver Tussie Mussie is a holder used as a small fresh bridal bouquet holder to wet with water and place in the metal holder. Here we placed orchids around the outside, and lisianthus in the center with a bow. Choose flowers with the colors, shapes, and fragrances you prefer. (you can find the bridal bouquet holder at Michaels, factorydirectcraft.com, or ask your local florist). See photos below.
