Tutorial: How to Make Mini Rose Loving Cups

So even though my graduation party is not a Kentucky Derby party, it is definitely Kentucky Derby-inspired. I thought I’d bring you the tutorials just in time for this weekend’s derby. Today, I’m walking you through how to make mini rose loving cups. They look darling, one to a place setting.

Rose Loving Cup Supplies

• Plastic loving cups (I ordered these 5-inch trophy cups from Amazon.)
• Floral foam
• Small faux roses
• Wire cutters

Rose Loving Cup Instructions

1 – Turn the loving cup over and press it cup side down into your floral foam.

The foam will completely fill the cup.

2 -Snip off the leaf stems, leaving roughly 2 inches of stem on each section of leaf. Arrange the leaves around the perimeter of the foam.

3 – Snip off the rose stems, leaving about two inches of stem.

4 – Insert the first rose in the center of the foam.

5 – Add more roses and/or leaves until you achieve the fullness you like.

And here’s a finished loving cup. I put one at each place setting.
