Spring vase

Don't know what to do with those leftover vases you have lying around? My friend Janine & I used one of her old ones & within 10 minutes had a new gift for a friend!

Easy steps: wash vase, hot glue ribbon around the top of it, use a flower brad through a flower embellishment & hot glue those onto the now-dried ribbon, fill your vase with clear marbles/rocks plus real/fake flowers and voila-a free/inexpensive gift! Between the two of us, we had all the supplies on hand. I put a little vinyl phrase "Stop & smell the flowers" on the front of the vase for a little extra touch & our friend Becky just loved it!

Enjoy!
