How to Make a Butterfly Garden Bouquet

Supplies needed:

• Glass canning jar
• Soil
• Craft moss
• Butterfly picks
• Optional plastic bugs (we used a faux ladybug)

We found everything we needed at our local craft and dollar store. Butterfly picks and moss can be purchased for just $1, making this one Mother’s Day craft that won’t leave you broke.

For the soil, simply dig some up from your own backyard. You don’t need to use anything fancy. If you have real moss, feel free to use it as well.

Directions:
1. Begin by filling the jar 3/4 full of soil. Pack it in well.

2. Next, layer on some moss to fill in the rest of the jar. You can even let a little overflow if you wish. Pack it all in tightly.

3. Add your butterfly picks. Press the picks down to the bottom of the jar and bend the stems so they look natural and like they are flying in various directions.

4. Add the optional bugs. We added a tiny pretend ladybug for a really natural and quite whimsical look.

See how sweet the finished product looks? It is bright, colorful, and oh so cheerful! This is the perfect sentiment for Mother’s Day and the arrival of spring.

Gather your supplies and see how easy it can be to create your own butterfly garden bouquet. It is a fun and super frugal way to show your mom how special she is.
