This money flower bouquet was one of my daughter’s favorite gifts for graduation. Not only did it give her money she will need for college it was so pretty and special! Aunt Jenny did it once again!

What a delightful and memorable way to blend the beauty of flowers with the practicality of money. It’s a thoughtful and special gift that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face (as you can see above).

Here is What You Need For Making a Flower Money Bouquet

To create this wonderful gift, you will need the following materials:

  • New Bills: Gather several bills in the desired denomination.
  • Floral wire, skewers, or pipe cleaners (chenille stems) These will be the stems for the money bouquet. Aunt Jenny used green pipe cleaners.
  • Green floral tape if using wire or skewers. The floral tape will help secure the money to the stems and give them a more natural appearance.
  • Tape
  • Optional decorations: You can add ribbons, tissue paper, bows, or small decorative items to enhance the bouquet.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a simple money flower bouquet:

  1. Roll each bill into a cone shape and secure it with clear tape.
  2. Take a floral wire or skewer and attach it to the back of the rolled bill or by sliding the wire through the bottom of the cone and fast with the floral tape wrapping the wire or skewer all the way to the bottom with the green floral tape.
