Plant Containers: Flower Garden Welcome Bag

Flower Garden Welcome Bag


by Mary Wilkins

This quick, easy craft is very unique, as well as pretty.It will make any visitor feel welcome and put a smile on their face. I have received many compliments on this craft from friends and neighbours.

Supplies:

1 old purse with strap or handles

Faux flowers and ivy

Open the purse and place long stemmed flowers along opening. In the next row, place a different coloured flower to accent the others. In the front fow, place ivy to hang down and over the front of the purse. Hook some of the ivy around the flowers to keep everything intact. Arrange until it pleases you. You could also add a small garden tool or perhaps a butterfly figure to finish it off.

Hang on your door on a hook just as you would any wreath.

Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
