Flower-Arranging with a Flower Frog

I love playing with flowers and creating little arrangements around the house — whether it's a few stems in a bud vase on the kitchen table or a vintage tea caddy filled with gorgeous sweet-smelling hyacinths on the window sill.

I discovered flower frogs a few years ago and they have been a game-changer. They are just ingenious! I'm now happily selling them in the shop, available in two sizes. I thought I'd share two little arrangements I made using both sizes with some spring blooms I picked up in Lidl.

Here I've used one of our aged brown pots and a teeny vintage terracotta pot I had lying around. The beauty of these little tools is that they allow you to create gorgeous arrangements in any container at all — just one that holds water — and you don't need many stems. This is particularly helpful when you have a lovely vase or container with a wide mouth. A helpful trick if you're using a vintage tin that doesn't hold water: just pop a pint glass inside it to hold the flowers!

Simply place the frog at the base of your container (its lead base keeps it in place), add water, then skewer the stems onto the copper spikes and add moss to hide the frog. Try not to have all the stems at the same height, and include some that are naturally curving to create a more natural-looking arrangement.
