Develop an ornamental flower vase


With an empty plastic bottle and some imagination, you can even make an ornamental flower vase.

On your piece of paper, draw and color or paint whatever style you want your flower vase to have. Be sure that the size of the paper fits the size of the vase you’ve cut. Then you can connect your piece of paper around the flower vase for a fantastic design.

Then, create the bottom part of your goblet by cutting off the bottom of the container using a sharp pair of scissors. Slice the excess from the bottom level to create a clean base. Turn the other part of the bottle upside down so that the mouth of the plastic bottle will now function as the neck of your goblet and the other end as the mouth. Keep the mouth of your goblet neat and stylish by trimming it carefully. Once completed, you can attach the neck of your cup to its bottom by using a strong glue. Let it dry completely and then put your sweets on it.

  1. Hi! Stopping by from the blog hop and I am now a new follower of your blog thru GFC, Twitter and RSS Feed. I cannot follow thru FB right now because of a crazy error on FB’s end and they have me blocked. I have a post on my blog from 8/20 called New Weekend Blog Hops where I explain what happened so I don’t take up too much space here. I have left it up to everyone to decide how they want to handle FB. You can either follow me now or wait and let me come back when FB has resolved this issue and then follow me. Either way is fine with me. I don’t want anyone thinking I won’t follow back. If you do, please leave me a comment that you did. I will be going back thru all of them over the last couple weeks and making sure I have followed all of those who already followed me. Thanks for your help and patience. Have a great day!
