TABLE DECORE FOR SPRING

Line a wire basket with moss before putting your jars of flowers in it.

Looking for something different for your table this Spring? Here is a quick and easy suggestion.

You will need:

1. A wire basket or a low metal container-elongated shape

2. 3 pint canning jars

3. A variety of small blossomed brightly colored silk flowers and light grasses

4. 1-2 crocheted doilies- whether family treasures or from the Dollar store.

5. White, flat spray paint

6. Fine grit sand paper

7. 1/2 inch wide ribbon (optional)

8. dried moss (optional)

What to do:

• spray paint the canning jars white, let them dry then lightly sand spots on the lettering, the top rim or other places that please your eye to age them

• cut three lengths of ribbon and tie them in a bow around the neck of the jars. Stabilize the ribbon with a dot of hot glue if needed.

• cut your flower stems in different lengths and fill the jars adding a few pieces of grass in three places at slightly different heights.

• If you are using a wire basket then line the bottom with moss.

• place your basket on the crocheted doilies in the center of your table and put the 3 jars inside the basket.

• You can add small votive candles at the base of the jars or lay a few left over flower sprigs here and there on the moss if you like.

Your table will look as fresh and lovely as Spring.
