My plan was to get my friends from around the world to join this site. Alas my friends & family really are not interested it seems. Anybody want to work with me on this?
It seems like such a good idea!
Let me here from you if you are interested.
Cheers
step one
Buy or find a piece of wood to use that is in proportion to the jar, which you also need to find or buy. If you are like me you will have the chance to recycle one. Make sure the jar (or use a vase) has a lip on the top. Paint the wood however you would like it.
step two
Position the jar on the wood and drill two holes on either side at the the base of the opening.
step three
Wrap steel wire around the lip of the jar a few times and twist it once until it’s secure. Position the jar so that it’s lined up on the wood and poke the ends through the small holes that you drilled. Wrap them together in the back and clip any extra wire.
step four
Drill two additional holes at the top of the wood and wrap a second piece of steel wire through leaving a large loop at the top. Twist the ends around the base and clip off the extra wire.
Add water and flowers then hang it up. Dried or imitation flowers could also be used.
It really was that simple! Fun to make :)
Dixie Cups
Pipe Cleaners
Tissue Paper

Ribbon
staple the pipe cleaner to the dixie cups
Cut & wrap the tissue paper and place around cup and wrap the ribbon around.
I had trouble so I also use two sided tape on some of them to keep the tissue from falling off!
