DIY Bright Blooms Watering Can

Brighten up your week with a burst of color and creativity from our talented floral designer, Susan! For this week’s feature, she’s crafted the charming Bright Blooms Watering Can arrangement—an eye-catching mix of small bloom artificial florals nestled perfectly into a vibrant pink watering can. Tied together with a bold 1.5" ribbon, this cheerful creation blends whimsy and elegance, making it a delightful addition to any space. Whether you're looking to add a pop of personality to your porch, kitchen windowsill, or craft room, Susan’s latest design is sure to inspire joy and spark a little springtime magic all year round. You can create one of your very own using the steps and supplies listed below.

Supplies needed:

 

  • Before getting started make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies

  • Susan started this arrangement by trimming down the piece of Styrofoam so that it would fit snuggly in the opening of the Watering Can. You will use a knife to cut down the Styrofoam and use hot glue on the bottom to secure it inside the Watering Can. She also opted to cover the top of the Styrofoam with a little Spanish Moss. This is an optional step; if you do not have Spanish Moss the styrofoam will still get covered by the greenery in the Watering Can. 
  • Susan then measured the height of the first Daisy Poppy Pick against the side of the Watering Can. She trimmed some of the overall length off of the pick. She placed the pick into the Watering Can whole and spread the stems apart to fill out the top of the Watering Can. 

  • Next Susan added a few pieces of the Grass greenery to the middle of the Watering Can. 

  • Then Susan alternated between adding pieces of Grass and the other Daisy Poppy Pick. She added a bit of hot glue to the end of each stem before placing it in the Styrofoam. She rotated the Watering Can as she was adding each piece to make sure she was getting even distribution throughout the arrangement.

  • Once the second Daisy Poppy Pick had been added to the Watering Can Susan moved onto tying the bow. She used the 1.5" Bright Stripes Ribbon and tied a small 3 loop bow for the side of the Watering Can. She secured the bow with a chenille stem and used a greening pin to stick it into the styrofoam. If you do not have a greening pin you can also hot glue the chenille stem to the styrofoam to secure it. Susan left the tails longer and then trimmed them to better fit the Watering Can. 

  • Once the bow had been added Susan moved onto adding the two different Cosmos stems. She cut each stem into separate pieces and then added them throughout the Watering Can.

  • Once all of the Cosmos were added Susan came to a stopping point. Don't forget to rotate your arrangement to check for any holes that you may need to fill in with more greenery. When you are finished you will have a lovely arrangement to use throughout Summer anywhere in your home.
