How to Make a Wildflower Centerpiece

How to Make a Wildflower Centerpiece

It’s that time of year where our property just blooms in wildflowers. Both flowers we’ve planted as well as plants the birds have brought for our enjoyment. Although I typically enjoy all of these outside, I also like to bring a little bit of pretty indoors to enjoy too. Unlike my sister, who is THE flower arranger (indeed, she even owns her own flower shop), I need a little remedial help.

I’m also sort of anti-vase. Vases need a lot of flowers to make them look truly stunning, and in my garden, I may only have a few stems of this and that. I needed a smaller solution. Although I had been using mason jars, they didn’t really stand up the stems in a way that looked great.

Fast forward, I attended a blog conference where Bernardin gave me a Frog Lid. This has rocked my world – these lids fit on wide mouth jars, and help you easily arrange flowers. Since I may be obsessed with canning (understatement), there are a few different kinds of jars  hanging out around my house. You can put them together to create a 3 level arrangement. Or if you only have 1 or 2, put together what you have.

This couldn’t be easier. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Pick some stems from your garden or wild field that draw your attention.
  2. Grab Bernardin mason jars. I used one that’s 750ml, 500ml and 250ml with wide mouths.
  3. Pick up a package of Frog Lids.
  4. Insert the Frog Lids in the rings of the jars.
  5. Fill with water.
  6. Trim your stems to your jar’s height.

That’s it! It’s super easy to let kids help with too – my 4 year old designed this whole arrangement.

Looking for more uses for your Bernardin Mason Jars? We’ve got you covered.
