Looking for a handmade gift that’s as unique and timeless as your love for Mom? Try crafting a DIY salt shaker button flower bouquet! This charming project transforms ordinary items—like empty salt shakers and spare buttons—into a delightful keepsake bouquet that will never wilt.
What You’ll Need:
-
Empty glass salt shakers (vintage or modern)
-
Floral wire or pipe cleaners
-
Assorted buttons (mix shapes, sizes, and colors!)
-
Felt, scrapbook paper, or fabric for leaves and flower accents
-
Scissors and hot glue
-
Optional: ribbons, lace, or washi tape for extra flair
How-To:
-
Make your flowers: Stack buttons in fun combinations and thread them onto floral wire, twisting to secure. For added texture, cut flower shapes from felt or paper and glue behind the buttons.
-
Create stems and leaves: Wrap green floral tape or ribbon around the wire to make stems. Add paper or felt leaves if you’d like.
-
Arrange your bouquet: Fill each salt shaker with a few “stems,” adjusting height and fullness until it looks just right.
-
Add finishing touches: Embellish the salt shaker with a bow, washi tape trim, or a sweet “Happy Mother’s Day” tag.
This easy, kid-friendly project is full of heart and makes a perfect desk, windowsill, or kitchen table decoration. Best of all? It lasts forever—just like her love 💐
