If making bouquets were an Olympic sport, this torch bouquet would be the G.O.A.T. Give it as a gift if you’re going to an Olympics watch party. Or just run around the neighborhood holding it up and revel in the cheers (in your head). It’s so easy to make, you can get straight 10s even if you’re an absolute beginner.

What you’ll need:

Brown paper
Red and yellow tissue paper
Red or yellow tulips

1. Cut a piece of brown paper into a 10-inch square. (I cut up a brown paper bag.) Then roll it into a cone and tape it securely.

2. Wrap tulips in red and yellow tissue paper. The red and yellow paper looks like flames, and the tulips are also flame-shaped.

3. Insert the paper and tulips into the cone.
