Supplies You’ll Need

• 6 mini Diet Coke cans

• Styrofoam limes (craft store)
• Bamboo skewers
• Mod Podge

How to Make a DIY Diet Coke Bouquet

Step 1: Attach the cans

Start with your mini Diet Coke cans. Using zip ties, secure each can to a large wooden dowel.

Mini cans work best for this project—they’re lighter and much easier to arrange into a bouquet shape.

Step 2: Reinforce for stability

Even with mini cans, a little reinforcement goes a long way. Add a small piece of clear shipping tape around each can to keep everything secure and sturdy.

Step 3: Add a fun glitter detail (optional)

For a fun, eye-catching touch, brush Mod Podge over the word “Coke” on each can and sprinkle red glitter on top.

Let everything dry completely before assembling your bouquet. This step is optional, but it really makes the bouquet feel extra special.

Step 4: Prep the limes

If you’re using decorative limes, remove the small stem from the top. This leaves a perfect hole for inserting a bamboo skewer.

Slide the skewer into the lime and set aside.

Step 5: Build your bouquet

Start arranging your cans together like a bouquet, then fill in the gaps with faux flowers and your lime skewers.

Mixing in flowers and fruit gives it that full, styled look and adds a fun pop of color.

Step 6: Final arrangement

Adjust everything until your bouquet looks balanced and full. You can wrap the base with ribbon or tissue paper if you’d like, or keep it simple.
