centre piece of the month april



again - i am using trash for my centre piece. empty tomato tins last month - broken vases this time. one of my alltime favourite vases got a little crack and i just didnt wanna throw the vase away. it's just a tiny crack and one can always use a vase for other things than flowers, right?



so i just turned my broken vase into a little "lantern". all i did was decorate the glass with some decorative stickers. you can get these stickers at arts and crafts stores. or you can try atelier lzc, they have a wonderful collection of lovely stickers & sell worldwide. did the same with another vase (intact!) that i filled with red tulips and ready was my centrepiece. since the colours of the red stickers and the flowers were so vibrant i kept the rest of the table simple. white tablecloth, white china - but some lovely red & white gingham check napkins. easy peasy and a joy to look at.

That's so clever! I love crafts that recycle, and I love the look of candles in lanterns.
And tulips are one of the nicest things that spring brings, if you ask me...

hi village vegan. thank you loads for your message. i love to recycle. my friends tough, would love me to chuck things (like a broken vase) away. they always have a great laugh when i come up with another "this is broken but still good" decoration. ;)
