DIY Valentines Day Man Bouquet by Glue

Valentine's day is around the corner and it is always so hard to find an appropriate gift for a guy. Seeing as how there aren't very many male flower lovers out there I thought this idea was so perfect. A man bouquet is a sweet gesture and it won't break the bank. This gift is also very customizable so you can change it up to meet the liking's of any man.

What you need :

•  glue gun
• glue sticks
• green masking tape
• green tissue paper
•  styrofoam ball
• plant pot
• wood skewer sticks
•  scissors

Items inside the bouquet:

• Hershey's
• Snickers
• Kit-Kat
•  M&M's
• Canadian Club Whiskey (mini)
• Polar Ice Vodka (mini)
• cigar
• 5 heart shaped chocolates
• 2 Kraken black spiced rum (mini)
• 3 lotto scratch cards

Step 1:Lay out all your items. Match the number of skewer sticks to the number of items. (Note: For larger items like the whiskey and vodka you may need two sticks). Try to visualize how you want your items arranged in the man bouquet. It helps to draw out a rough sketch on paper. Items in the front should be shorter so adjust the length of the stick by cutting it.

Step 2: Cut a piece of tape an inch shorter than your skewer stick, place the stick on the edge of the tape and roll it, leaving the pointy side uncovered. Do this to all of your sticks. They should resemble green flower stems like this.

Step 3: Heat your glue gun, place each of your items face down and glue a stick to the back of each. Put the items aside to let the glue dry completely.

Step 4: Squirt a big blob of glue at the bottom of your pot, scrunch up two pieces of tissue paper and secure them to the bottom of the pot. Cover half of the Styrofoam ball with hot glue and firmly hold it in place inside the pot. This is so the ball doesn't spin around or tilt.

Step 5: Now you can add all your items to the bouquet. Refer back to your sketch so you aren't blindly stabbing the ball with skewer sticks. Start with the larger items and then add in the smaller ones. You can adjust the height of the stick by pushing deeper or less deep.

Step 6: Weave the green tissue paper through the sticks to cover all traces of the ball and glue in place. Lastly, heavier items like the spiced rum glass bottles that can't stand on a stick, can stand alone on the tissue paper.

There you have it! Your very own man bouquet that he will love and appreciate for Valentines day, that doesn't break the bank or scream sappy!
Remember you are not limited to booze and chocolate!
