| Family photographs always give way to "warm and fuzzy" feelings. Many times similar sentiments are also associated with fresh cut flowers. Perhaps snapdragons remind you of a special time or person, fragrant roses might take you back to childhood memories. When combined, photos and flowers can be a delightful duet down memory lane.
It's a snap to make your own nostalgic photo vase of flowers; all you need are two clear glass vases of descending size, photos and flowers.
Materials:
|
|
- 2 clear glass vases with straight sides. The vases can be round or square but must be descending sizes of the same style.
- Photographs to fit in between the two vases.
- Here's a peachy combination - peach hybrid tea roses, peach hypericum or spray roses and peach stock. Add some foliage if you like.
- Floral Clippers.
|
| Directions:
|
|
Step 1 - Insert the smaller glass vase inside the larger one.
|
|
Step 2 - Next, slip the photos in the space between the two vases.
|
|
|
Step 3 - Carefully fill the interior vase with water. Make sure not to accidentally spill water between the two vases where the photos are placed.
|
|
Step 4 - It's time to add the bouquet of fresh flowers. Cut the flowers short so that the blooms rest slightly over the rim of the photo vase.
Hint: You might want to create the bouquet in your hands first. Simply put each flower next to each other, making sure the blooms are at the same height. Turn the bouquet in your hand to achieve a round shape. Rubberband all the flower stems together bringing the rubberband up under the blooms. Now cut the stems short and set the bouquet in the photo vase.
My best,
