I came across this Family Chic blog the other day and saw some fun ideas but this is the one that stuck.
Camilla used a votive cup and a 12" balloon. I wanted more than one and didn't have many votive cups the same size,
so, I used half pint jars. Since I haven't made jelly in a few years, I have quite a few empty half pint jars.
I had to stretch pretty hard to get the balloon around and a couple of them did break since it's on a bigger vessel than a votive cup. I actually like seeing the embossed look of the lettering on the jar through the balloon.
I absolutely love these! You could coordinate colors with a color scheme for a party. Match or contrast the color of the balloon with your flower.
This simple project makes a simple flower so special.
~Take one to a friend~
~Put one on your bedside table~
~Put one in your child's room~
~Line six up on your kitchen counter~
The simple "how to" is here.
Thank you Camilla! (I love her name)
that is pretty inventive - and with your choice of balloons and flowers, it looks so festive
