This Community Service Program aims to develop the creative economic skills of students through bouquet-making training at Nurul Al Bantani Islamic Boarding School, Serang City. The program was motivated by the need to enhance students’ practical skills and entrepreneurial capacity as preparation for economic independence in the creative economy era. The implementation method employed a training and hands-on practice approach, including the delivery of creative economy concepts, bouquet-making practice, and assistance in calculating production costs, determining selling prices, and applying simple marketing strategies. The results indicate that students were able to understand and master basic bouquet-making techniques and produce neat, aesthetically pleasing, and marketable products.
