Frugal ways for home deco


I save bottles and tins  for vases from  whisky and the stuff (eatables, paint, varnish cans)  I am addicted to, they make great gifts if you’re taking someone flowers, and an easy way to have a deco, with colour ful vase at home, with the flowers you had in your yard  a stuff(fabric ,upcycled burlop yarn)your choice wrapped around it.



Just to be a little bit different how about using an Thermos flask with an a plant(in plastic bottle) in it like the below example.
This was my Thermos in-olden times i cut the upper part of plastic bottle planted a plant in it unscrewed the flask placed the plant bottle in it and screwed the Thermos flask back.What a beautiful deco? isn't it 


this is plarn braidedwrapped empty paint tin 

Jatropa flower in the whisky/beer bottle

Niche with plants

flower bottle placed on oval shaped braided mat


Beautiful jetropa flowers



I wrapped up-cycled burlap twine on these empty tins and filled them with soil to plant indoor  plants




I cut a big branch with flowers and placed it in the water-filled beer bottle......

Done and done. Simple, colorful table decor complete that won't lose it's pedals after about a week



 Lovely use of both glass bottle and empty Thermos flask and empty tins and plastic container to get a really cottage vintage theme going on.

Such a versatile material and great to put those old bottles, flasks and tins to good use!
