I used to be a stylist and manicurist. We would do bouquets for customers by taking a small basket, put the polish bottles in upside down(round bottles work best), sometimes we would stick dried leaves, ferns and other floral shop extras in with the bottles, then would wrap a bow around the basket. Depending on the way they sit in the basket, you may need to tie a wire around them through the tape and have it go through the bottom of the basket to hold them firmly. These sold really well and it was hard to keep them in stock, so they are a very popular gift. Your Mom will love it.
Sometimes we would put a nice handkerchief in the side of the basket with a corner hanging out or just line the basket with it and have it hanging out all around the edges to look nice.
Sometimes you need to wrap tape around the caps of the bottle to make them hold together or they fall out easy.Any idea how to make a nail polish bouquet?
Worth a shot! Its something she likes to do and will look nice when you give it to her.
I'd say use a rubberband to hold them together, get the band in under the cap where it' gets narrow before the bump in the bottle (hope this is making sense *lol* have a look at a bottle) If you get it in the right spot, the rubber band should be MOSTLY hidden, but then top it off with a big lovely ribbon tied into a bow
get a small basket, put the nail polishes in there with whatever else and then get some plastic from a craft shop and put around it and put ribbon to tie it.
