How to jazz up a cheap bunch

With a bit of artistic flair, you can make a cheap-ish bouquet look expensive for next to nowt. Wrap it in fancy paper – no need to spend more than £1 on that. Maybe attach a handmade card, then listen as your mum reminisces about gifts you made her as a child (awww).

We had a go at sprucing up a £4 supermarket bunch for just £3.50 extra...
