Cute Thank You idea

thenshemade Came up with this cute idea! Great idea for teacher gifts, or anybody!

Supplies needed for cookies:

- Small Gum drops ( I usually get the spiced drops from Walmart)

- BBQ Skewers

- Store bought cookies with holes in the center, my favorites are: Keebler Fudge Stripes & Murray Sugar-free Shortbread flower shaped cookies. You can also use Keebler Rite Bite, 100 calorie Grasshopper cookies or 100 calorie Cookies and Cream. (Just keep your eyes open as you shop, if the cookie or cracker has a hole in the middle, it will most likely work.)



Supplies needed for container:

Small flower pot

Floral foam

moss

ribbon

hot glue gun and glue




Step One: Put a gumdrop on a BBQ skewers and push it down about 3/4 an inch. It looks better if you put the gumdrop on upside down.




Step Two: Add the cookie - so far pretty easy right? I love easy and cute and so these cookie flowers are perfect!



Step Three: Add another gumdrop on top of the flower. This time, put the gumdrop right side up. And, there you have it - you just made a cookie flower.





Next, you need to prepare the container.



Step One: Locate a pot. I just get mine from Walmart or Hobby Lobby and I paint them. Sometimes I will buy these in advance, paint them and then stash them for when I need them down the road.



Step Two: Add floral foam to the inside of the pot. I like to buy a block of it and cut it to the size needed.







Step Three: Add your flowers and arrange bouquet. I always start with one in the center and then cut the bbq skewers down to adjust the height of each flower.



Step Four: Once all your flowers are in place, heat up your glue gun and very carefully add some moss on top of the floral foam. This will hide your foam and the bases of your skewers and will just add that extra touch of cuteness.



Step Five: Add a bow if you so desire, I always do.





Step Six: Go make a flower delivery to brighten someone's day.
