After a bit of a hiatus…I am back.
Something fun and easy you can do with your kids. Maybe “spruce” up your house or brighten someone’s day.
It is my opinion that fresh flowers or greenery always brighten up a space. If you are also like me, well, I am trying to cut corners and expenses. Buying fresh flowers, or cultivating them from your garden or a friend’s is not always feasible especially in different places on the globe.
Do you know that spruce or evergreen tree in your yard? It is a great option to make a simple arrangement and enjoy it’s natural scent.
Try the following:
1 glass vase, recycled glass bottle or an unmatched old glass from your kitchen
Several pine cones, rocks, fabric scraps ( I found felt to work great) or sticks (whatever you find lying around outside or inside for that matter)
Depending on the size of your vase/cup fresh cut spruce or pine (anything green) different lengths to arrange
Place the objects either pinecones, rocks, small pieces of sticks in the bottom of the vase/glass so it is about a 2/3 full. Arrange your fresh cut limbs. The objects you placed in the bottom will hold up your branches. I added water to keep these alive a bit longer.
Voile…easy and inexpensive!
