The present invention provides an easier and faster way to arrange a bouquet of flowers. According to some embodiments, a jig has multiple tubes skew to each other with rods inserted therein. With the rods extending out of one end of the tubes, flower/foliage elements are inserted into the other ends of the tubes to form a bouquet. Then, the stems of the flower/foliage elements are grasped while the tubes are moved further from the grasped portions of the stems causing the top faces of the rods to press the stems out of the tubes. Accordingly, the jig conveniently and snugly holds flower/foliage elements while forming the bouquet, and the rods effectively eject the flower/foliage elements from the jig when the bouquet is ready to be bound at the stems.
