Flower Box Bouquet


This cute little flower box was made with the cookie recipe Jill's Best Sugar Cookies.  The icing recipe can be found at Making Royal Icing.  And the cutter was made with an upside-down strawberry design on a 3D printer using the tutorial at 3-D Printer Cookie Cutters Simplified.  

Decorating the design was done with some simple piping lines using a #3 piping tip.





Use leaf tip #67 to add a little green around the stem.  You can make a variety of colors for your flower box or have a theme like red and gold for the 49ers.  


You will need a box like this and something heavy so that it doesn't tip over.  I used some heavy magnets in a ziplock bag.  Add styrofoam on top and cover with moss, which can be found at a craft store like Michael's, Jo Ann Fabrics, or Hobby Lobby.  


Insert the flowers from the back to the front, tall to short, using a pair of pliers to push them into the styrofoam.  Enjoy!
