How to Wrap a Bouquet of Flowers

It's always best to wrap a hand-tied bouquet before you give it to someone as a gift. The wrapping paper helps to protect delicate petals in transit, and a well-wrapped bouquet makes a much more pleasing present.

Choose wrapping paper, cellophane or simple brown paper and ribbon that matches the style, shape, size and predominant color of your bouquet.

Materials Needed:

• wrapping paper
• cellophane or brown paper
• ribbon

• clear tape
• hand-tied bouquet

 

 

 

Prepare the Paper

Fold the wrapping paper in half at a slight angle. Place the bouquet of flowers on top of the paper so the binding point rests on the folded edge of the paper. You may choose to have the pattern on the inside, as shown here, or keep the pattern on the outside, for a livelier look.

Wrap the Paper

Fold one half of the wrapping paper carefully over the front of the flowers so the folded edge of the paper aligns with the outer edge of the bouquet.

Enclose the Flowers

Roll the bouquet up inside the rest of the paper, or fold the other half of the paper over the bouquet — whichever feels easier. Once the flowers are enclosed in the cone shape created by the paper, seal both sides of paper together with a small piece of clear tape.
