DIY Flower Arrangement

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
We’re bored with the ordinary.
How ‘bout you?

Earlier this week, we set out to find a flower arrangement that said “love” without breaking our bank account. We wanted something cute and fun we could give to family or friends for Valentine’s Day, and after countless hours Googling DIY ideas, stumbled upon this cute and easy video. We headed down to the LA Flower District today to buy our supplies. Total Cost: $19.75!


What you’ll need:

Heart-shaped floral foam: 2 for $13.50 (Basket and Flowers, Inc., 630 E. 8th Street)
Carnations: $8/2 dozen (Sanchez & Ramos Flowers, 825 S. San Pedro St., Suite 111)
Mini carnations: $4/2 dozen (Sanchez & Ramos)

We stuck with carnations because they last longer than roses and the Flower District had every possible color. If you're not a fan of carnations, this arrangement will work with almost any flower type.
