Summer Blossoms

I love to take advantage of the wonderful summer flowers that grow in my yard or that I can buy from the local Farmer's Market.

And here's a fun project that takes advantage of recycling an ordinary object into something very fun. Save your cans and create whimsical flower vases. (See How-To on PartyOriginals.com)

This is so easy that it is a fun project to do with kids. They love to clip blossoms from the garden and if you help them cut the paper to fit the cans, it is easy for them to glue on. You can grab lots of fun scrapbooking papers at stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby to fit any theme you can think of!

The can vases are also great for outdoor entertaining because there is no worry of breaking a glass vase. Collect plenty of can sizes and shapes so you have them on hand all summer. They are great to display all around the patio when you are entertaining outdoors.

Have Fun!
