Easy Vase

You've just picked a handful of flowers or clipped several branches from a flowering bush, and you hate to pull out your crystal vase. 

You'll need: 

 
  • 1 empty aluminum can filled with water and a drop of bleach
  • 1 brown paper bag that's taller than the can
  • Fresh or silk flowers
  • About 1 yard of twine or ribbon

Retrieve an empty soup can (or whatever kind you have) from the trash and rinse it out.  

Fill the can with water and a drop of bleach to keep bacteria from growing in the water.

Put the can in a small brown paper bag and turn down the edge of the bag.

Tie the bag with twine for a county look, or ribbon if you prefer. 

Add your artfully arranged flowers and you're done!

Silk flowers with no water, of course, may be used for a longer lasting arrangement.

This is an inexpensive gift for a housewarming or dinner party because the recipient can toss the whole thing when the flowers are spent.  

Mass produce these instant vases for a school craft fair or to decorate a lot of tables for pennies.
