Question

I'm trying to make a craft but I want something to put the flowers in besides a vases, have any ideas?

Answer 1

Pretty glass bottles, like Perrier or Pellegrino bottles, you could even leave the sparkling water still in them.

Answer 2

Dried flower bouquet Long painted sticks almost twice the length of the vase itself with a contrasting color sand to hold the sticks in place. Plant that lives on water. Add different types of lentils and rice in layers to make it look colorful. Then on the neck of the vase use a raffia to go round the neck and tie it in a bow . It looks very nice.

Answer 3

I planted pansies in a galvanized watering can last year, with some soil moist pellets-it looked great!! For silk flowers, or if you are using fresh flowers, too, you could use baskets (and put a water container inside it if fresh flowers). I like coffee mugs for little arrangements. I have floated large blooms in a big glass bowl before. I've seen arrangements in the fall where people hollowed out pumpkins and used that for a vase. A coconut might be cute for a hawaiian theme. Have to be imaginitive!

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/dkCUn
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

Answer 5

Get creative, look around your house.. everywhere. You never know what you might find. Large or small serving bowls, turn a cake cover upside down, you might use a pretty pitcher or a small fish bowl. It really depends on the flowers and what kind of a statement you want to make. Consider the occassion and how big of a piece you want and go from there. You could put single flowers in small glasses and spread them down a table, or fill a shallow bowl with floating flower tops. Or set a not-so-attractive vessel down into a nice basket. Just have fun, and leave yourself time to experiment a little.

Answer 6

We used coke cans once, cut off top, fold in edges (be careful they can be sharp)...you may need some of those water stones in the bottom to weight it down. Glasses from thrift shops or the Dollar store work well too. We also used those plastic cups you get from Wal-Mart with some stones in the bottom...those come very colorful and usually 4 or 5 for a $1.00 and are quite big.

Answer 7

Water pitcher, planters, large coffee cups, a cut glass bowl or a colorful opaque bowl, watering can. If you're using silk flowers the above are good and there are more: small wooden crate, real pumpkins, real gourds, any melons, on driftwood - your imagination is your best tool!

Answer 8

During the fall, you can use those fake carving pumpkins...just cut a hole in the top and fill with styrofoam, then maybe moss to hide the styrofoam. (I know Michaels sells them in the fall.)

You can also use the galvanized metal planters, some which hang on a wall, depending on your taste. Same goes for baskets. I've seen cute arrangements made in a galvanized watering can too.

Answer 9

a row of test tubes like you had in school - oddly enough look very chic. or i often cut the heads (esp good with wide flowers cant remember the name now) and put them in small shallow glass dishes - floating flowers.
