Homemade Flower Vase

Flowers...they brighten everyone's day, right? We have a little "problem" in our house...well, it's only a problem for our budget. Whenever my 2 1/2 year old son sees flowers at the store, he wants to buy them for me! I LOVE it but that just can't happen every single time. Anyway, I thought of this idea one day because I wanted to give flowers to someone and I didn't have a vase I could just give away. Well, here's a quick solution that can also turn into a little project for the kids! You can make whatever you want of it. Have fun!

Supplies:
  • Juice carton
  • scissors (a good adult one works best)
  • tinfoil (optional)
  • paint
  • hot glue gun


Instructions:
Cut the top off of the juice carton, wash it out well. This is the point at which you can do whatever you'd like. The kids thought of recycling further by using some used-but-clean, tinfoil to simply wrap around the carton, and hot glue it into place. Then they painted the tinfoil for a unique look (see the image below). That's it! Have fun :)
