Inexpensive Vase for Floral Centerpiece


Or maybe a quick and easy
Thinking of You Gift . . .
I am in the midst of busy summer craziness, but I made a little video to show you how to turn a recycled bottle into a gorgeous and thoughtful little gift.

I just read Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and one of them reads,
"Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special."
So go pick a flower from your garden and make someone's day!

    this is so cool! AND your flower is gorgeous!
    I used an empty "liquid smoke" bottle and it's cool cuz it's brown. I will have to decorate it up like you did.

    What a great way to recycle! You transformed the bottle into a very pretty vase!

    Thanks for the tip on how to line up words and pick up with a block to stamp on separate lines!
