DIY Easy Wall Hanging Flower Vase Project

"Easy Wall Hanging Flower Vase Project"
Make one for your mom this Mother's Day or for yourself...very easy to do...you
can put flowers in it or a candle...this would look so pretty on a patio or
along a fence with candles...make several for a beautiful
wall grouping!
Here's how and what you'll need:
A raw wooden frame, paint (I chose white because I didn't want my flowers
to have to compete with any color) paint brush and a varnish to seal...
put at least 2 coats of paint on and then varnish.
Once you've found exactly where your going to place the jar...
make 1 mark with a pencil on each side of the jar.
I had my husband drill 1 hole right where each pencil
mark was....
The wire I used was really easy to work with and
really easy to cut...this is the wrapper it came in.
 
Now mount, add some water, ribbon (I chose a turquoise ribbon because that
is my accent color, my husband went to the store and searched all the 
flowers and he couldn't find one blue tulip or any blue flower) 
then get some of mom's favorite flowers or yours...
I love my wall hanging flowers and I hope you will too!
When you tie the ribbon, place it under the wire...
It will help keep the ribbon in place.
Happy Crafting!
Connie
