Cheap Indulgence: Supermarket roses

I love having fresh flowers around the house, but it's a treat I rarely allow myself. Nice-looking cut flowers are often a bit too pricey for me, but I recently found a solution: One of my favorite bloggers, Cup of Jo, shared a brilliant tutorial last year on how to arrange supermarket flowers. I've used it several times now, and it really does make cheap supermarket roses look really nice.

This pic shows a bunch of super cheap and previously rather sad-looking cream roses I bought last week, and after some prepping they look totally acceptable on our kitchen table. Thanks for the tips, Jo!
