Flowers in a teacup

A little work of art on your table

Sometimes it’s the little things that make your day a bit brighter. A favourite teacup from your grandmother’s cabinet, a few flowers from the market or your garden… and suddenly, something special appears. In this blog, we’ll show you how to create a floral arrangement in a teacup using real or artificial flowers. Perfect for your bedside table, your tea moment, or as a sweet gift for someone dear to you. The best part? You can endlessly vary with colours, styles and seasons.

What you need:

• A cup and saucer
• 15 to 20 sturdy flowers or artificial flowers
• 1 block of wet floral foam
• A small knife
• A wooden skewer

How to make your teacup bouquet:

1. First, cut the floral foam to the right shape

2. Then soak it thoroughly and place it in the cup.

3. Gently stick the flowers into the foam. Start with the tallest and largest flowers. Use the smaller ones last to fill in the gaps and shape a lovely little bouquet. Work from the centre outward toward the edge.

– Optionally, use a skewer to pre-poke holes.
