It was Michael’s little cousin’s 13th birthday and she is obsessed with makeup! So for her birthday dinner, I thought I’d make her this makeup bouquet which I think came out so gorgeous!! I’ll share how I did it in case you want to recreate it because I think it’s a such a great gift for any makeup-obsessed tween or teen in your life!

What I Used:

• Makeup of choice. I had already gotten her the NAKED 3 Pallet for Christmas, so for her birthday I got her a bunch (8 to be exact) of fun little makeup items (since she has limited luggage space) including a lip plumper HEHE
• Florals. I went for a pink theme for both the makeup and flowers!
• Floral, Wrapping, or Butcher Paper. I already have a huge roll of butcher paper at home so I just used that!
• Sticks. I used leftover skewers.
• Ribbons of choice. I already own a ton of ribbon lmao to choose from and I chose some burlap and twine for an elegant look!
• Hot Glue + Hot Glue Gun. You could opt for tape instead but I think hot glue gun is easier
• Bubble Wrap. Or really anything to cover up the skewers at the bottom. so they don’t poke anybody
• (Optional) Strong Tape. I used clear packaging tape to tape the makeup items to the sticks make sure they wouldn’t come apart, but you could probably get away with just using hot glue

Step-By-Step:

1. Attach the makeup items to the sticks. I used clear tape. I recommend using two sticks if the makeup item is bigger/heavier
2. Hot glue the makeup items to each other in a bouquet-like arrangement. Also hot glue the sticks towards the bottom to each other for additional structure
3. Cover the bottom of the sticks with bubble wrap so they don’t poke anybody and also so they don’t poke through your wrapping
4. Arrange your florals around your bouquet
5. Wrap the flowers with your wrapping and ribbons of choice

I hope you all are having a great start to the new year! We certainly have been enjoying so many blessed moments and I would love to document some of those moments, so please look forward to my journal which I plan to post on later this week!

Love,
Em
