What You’ll Need:
- 40–50 crisp dollar bills
- Floral wire or pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun (optional)
- Artificial roses (foam or silk, 5–7)
- Tissue paper or bouquet wrap
- Ribbon
- Decorative extras (butterfly clip, feather, pearls, etc.)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the bills:
Fold each dollar into a pointed petal by making a slight “V” shape or accordion-style fold, then pinch at the bottom and wrap with floral wire to hold. - Layer the petals:
Start layering your money petals in a circle, adding each petal like you’re forming a giant flower. Use more wire to connect clusters and shape the bouquet. - Add the roses:
Nestle artificial roses in the center, spacing them out evenly. Secure with glue or tuck into the bouquet tightly. - Build volume:
Keep adding bills around the outside until it looks full and lush. Mix in greenery or small accents if you’d like! - Wrap it up:
Wrap the whole bouquet in tissue or bouquet paper, add ribbon, and give it a little fluff to make everything pop. - Finishing touches:
Add a butterfly clip, some pearl pins, or a cute feather for a magical little touch.
Give it to Mom—or anyone who deserves to feel spoiled. It’s thoughtful, fun, and a creative way to give money that feels extra special.
