7 Days of Thrift Shop Flips - Day 5

This is the part you need (and some of the leaves).


When you pull these off the flower it will have a little hole in it, poke the pipe cleaner stem through the hole and then glue that to the top of each thimble to begin creating your flowers.



Paint the flower pots the color of your choice and then cram a piece of florist's foam into each one. I say "cram" it in there because you don't want it to fall out, it should be securely wedged. Hot glue doesn't work very well with this kind of foam so wedging is your best option... wedging not wedgies😜


If your leaves come off the flowers the same way the other piece did then you can just insert the pipe cleaner through the hole in the same manner. You can also glue the leaves to the pipe cleaner if that works better. I've done both.


Poke your stems down into the foam as far as you can. Now bend the top of the flower over.




I put three flowers in each pot and I also added some rick-rack trim around the rim of the pots.


The final touch is adding the moss to cover the foam.







These would be cute to make for table place settings for a fun garden-themed party!!
