Bling Bling Vase:
Mother's
Day is just around the corner, and it's time to be thinking about a
very special gift. Why not create a bling bling vase that is full of
sparkle and may be filled with something special! Take any type of
vase. We used a cylinder style Terra-Cotta vase. Now it's time for the
bling bling! Your mother may have some costume jewelry that she never
wears which would be great. If not, any antique mall or even a craft
store has jewelry that may be used. At your local hardware story, you
will find a pre-mixed adhesive and grout mixture that you will apply to
the outside of the vase using a plastic knife. Simply layer the
adhesive add add the costume jewelry. Allow to dry overnight. We also
used colorful beads for an extra pop of color. Present your mother with
this bling bling vase filled with some happy flowers!
Supplies:
- Vase
- Costume jewelry/beads
- Pre-mixed adhesive and grout mixture

Coffee Filter Flowers:
With
Mother's Day around the corner, creating coffee filter flowers will be a
great project to make with the kids! You will need a package of coffee
filters, wooden skewers, green garden tape, food coloring/and or
acrylic paint. Take one coffee filter and fold into thirds. Roll this
coffee filter into a tube (the center of the flower). Take another
coffee filter and roll around the center of the flower. Repeat this
step until the flower is full. Hot glue the center of the flower to the
other rolled coffee filters. Poke the wooden skewer into the center of
the flower and secure with hot glue. Completely wrap the wooden skewer
with green garden tape. Next, dip the flower into a bowl filled with
food coloring and water. The coffee filters will absorb the colored
water. Allow to dry overnight. You may also use watered down acrylic
paint in any color.
