Springtime Vase
The house needed some ’spring-i-ness’ and the kids needed a project and this is what we ended up with for our home.
We’re previously made fabric covered yogurt cup vases, which I love, but I was looking for something a little quicker and less messy for this morning.
They spraypainted some yogurt cups.
Then broke out the beloved acrylic paints and brushes.
The greens are compliments of a euonymous bush that has been very happy inside on our fireplace all winter. (Little does it know that in the spring it will be planted outside and most likely end up being deer food, like every other bush in our yard.)
We tried a small ribbon grouping the vases together…but I didn’t care for that.
So we went with a bigger ribbon, which is nice if your kids designs aren’t exactly what you envisioned for on the vases. (i.e. you can hide the paint job.)
But we decided we would use them all seperately to brighten up different areas in the house.
See, they even make my bathroom sink look more ’springy’…if only cleaner too.
