The Easiest Way to Gift Cheap Flowers

• Any ol' flowers
• A square of burlap (about 18 square inches)
• A plastic baggie
• A rubber band
• A fabric ribbon (also about 18 inches long)
• A card (optional)
• A clothespin (optional)

First, lay down your ribbon and then your burlap, with a corner point up top. Second, place the plastic baggie around the end of your stems and secure with the rubber band. (This keeps any moisture from seeping onto the burlap.)

Before you wrap your flowers, take the bottom corner and fold it to be a squared end. Then bring up the entire bottom half of the burlap. Tuck the fabric around the sides of the stems.

Here's where it gets interesting: Crease the two side corners to run vertically along the flowers.

Soften the edges by bringing down the top two corners.

Bring together the two sides of the fabric. You're almost done.

Bows! Knots! Whatever you prefer. (We're Team Knot.)

Technically, you can stop at the last step. But for a nice finishing touch, clip a small square card with a clothespin. You are officially the favorite houseguest.
