Simple Recycle Idea


To make a flower arrangements for home décor, most people will think of expensive vase, a beautiful complicated arrangements and so on. Well, there’s price, there’s quality. A unique, and artful vase is surely expensive, but yes, they will give an elegant touch to your home. Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that a more affordable vase will surely look bad and cheapy as a décor. This arrangement is one proof of it. Made by using used sauce bottles, the flower arrangement will make your house look more lovely and also help save the earth by reducing waste! What a good idea!!!


To make this arrangement, you will need yellow fiji, another varian of chrysanthemum, ivy leaves, floral green plastic tubes and some wire. First, fill in the floral tube with water then put its cap tightly. Put the stem of ivy into the tube through the cap then make circles of ivy. Do this until the desired thickness and size then secure with wire. Then put three green bottles (you can use beer bottles, sauce bottles etc, but best in same size and colors and labels removed). Put the ivy circle on them, secure the bottles and ivy circle together with wire (must be strong enough so not to fall off). Last, put one fiji or chrysanthemum flower in each bottle…done!!


Here’s the close up look of the flower arrangements.


And here is another idea of arranging the chrysanthemums : first get a small plastic used-bottle (you can use plastic bottles for yoghurt or other kinds of drink), wrap it with colored tisue paper, and put some furry wire around it, secure the wire to a long branch. Do the same with the other bottles and branches.Then just put the chrysanthemums into it!! So, now you have a pots-tree-like with chrysanthemum flower in it.
Okay, stay tune for our next post!!
