Make-your-own bouquets

Martha Stewart, gardener extraordinaire, doesn't need flowers to fashion a bouquet -- and neither do you, cupcake.

Thanks to Martha's new crepe paper kit, you can craft 12 perfect blooms at home, enough to fashion your own bouquet of of red roses that will last long after Valentine's Day has faded away. You also can make wreaths, corsages, centerpieces and whatever else strikes your fancy. So why not grow your own?

The kits are priced at $19.99 and include everything from artificial leaves to glue and a pearl straight pin. You can find them at Michael's craft stores, as well as www.marthastewartcrafts.com
