Organize This: A Different Kind of Valentine’s Day Bouquet

I love flowers, especially tulips, Gerbera daisies, and peonies. They’re pretty. Some of them smell good. But hey, flowers die. I know, bummer.

You know what doesn’t die? Paper straws. I’m obsessed with them. They’re way too cool to keep tucked away in a drawer, so I wanted to find a way to organize and display some of mine in a fun way.

First, start putting stones in a Mason jar, but don’t fill it all the way up. I used clear stones because I had some left over from my paperwhite bulb kit, but next time I think I will use colorful pebbles for a different look.

Begin arranging your straws, then fill up your jar a little bit more. Continue to fill it up in various increments and stick your straws in at different levels.

You can display your paper straw bouquet as is, or you can add some flair to your jar by dressing it up with pretty washi tape.

Now you’re ready to sip in style!

Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo
