Materials:

- 3 tin buckets - approximately 4-inches tall and 4-inches in diameter (Jill's buckets are pink yellow and blue)
- Small magnets to spell: "We Love Mom"
- 1 large bunch (approximately 25 stems) tree fern
- 4 stems stargazer lilies and pink gerbera daisies
- 1 dozen pink roses
- 3 rubberbands
- Floral preservative and clippers

| Directions:
|
|
|
Step 1 - Fill the buckets with water that have been treated with floral preservative.
|
|
|
Step 2 - Attach the magnets to the buckets. (Spell out 'We Love Mom,' one word per bucket).
|
|
|
Step 3 - Cut the stems to about 8-inches in length and then organize them by variety.
|
|
|
Step 4 - Each bucket is filled with an individual flower variety. If you are right handed hold the flowers in your left hand. Start with the rosesÉBegin by holding the flowers just under their blooms. Surround the first flower with another flower and foliage. Each flower head should be at the same height.

Step 5 - When the roses are arranged, turn the bouquet upside down and rubberband the stems together. Follow this procedure with each flower variety and insert the 3 types of flowers into the individual flower tins.

|
Step 6 - Cut the stems so that just the heads of the flowers peer out over the edge of the tins.
