Man Bouquet:: Tutorial


I saw this idea on Pinterest awhile ago and was so excited when I had an excuse to finally make it. 

Supplies:: 

approximately 6-7 airplane bottles of alcohol
Popsicle sticks
hot glue gun
pipe cleaners
tissue paper
Styrofoam (like what goes in flower arrangements)
shredded tissue paper
glass beer mug

Total Cost:: approximately 16 per mug
*All items (except for the booze) was purchased at the Dollar Store

**I've seen a few made with aluminum pails, but I was afraid the bottles would be too heave and tip over. I went with the glass beer stein because it was heavier and looked more like a guy's gift. 


Directions::
  • Glue Popsicle sticks to alcohol bottles
  • trim Styrofoam to fit inside mug
  • shove shredded paper inside the bottom of mug as filler
  • wrap foam with tissue paper and place in glass
  • begin sticking bottles into the foam at varying heights 
  • place more shredded tissue paper to cover the foam
  • add pipe cleaners for more decoration, if desired










The birthday boys LOVED them.  They sat on the counter as decoration for the entire party.
