A 'Clutch Bouquet' is Recommended for Handmade Bouquets♡
Some may think it looks difficult to make a bouquet with artificial flowers* The clutch bouquet is perfect for first-time bouquet makers♡
Since it's designed to be casually bundled together, all you need to do is balance it while putting it together! Here's an easy way to make a clutch bouquet that you can try♡
How to Make a Clutch Bouquet♡
First, take the flower that will be in the center, and then hold one flower at a time to bundle around it* Instead of inserting them in one direction, twist your left hand as you insert them one at a time, staggering them♡
At this point, it’s important not to insert the stems straight but rather at an angle♩ Occasionally, step back to check the balance♡
Once everything is bundled, secure it with floral tape* Then, cut the stems to make them even with scissors* Finally, wrap a ribbon around so that the tape is not visible, and it's complete♩
Make sure to wrap the floral tape tightly around all the flowers♩ The correct way to use floral tape is to stretch it while wrapping it♡
It’s made of material that doesn’t tear when stretched, so wrap it firmly around the stems as you stretch it* Floral tape can be purchased at Shimojima or Yuzawaya, so be sure to check it out* Of course, you can also easily buy it online*
