When looking for the perfect gift for my girlfriends, I can't ever find something to do them justice! Therefore, I took matters into my own hands. As I was aimlessly reading blogs one day, I fell upon http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ and fell in love! She has fashion tips, cooking tips, and best of all, home improvement tips! I give all the thanks and credit to her for my gift idea for my girlfriends! As you can see, the gift that I made them was a floating flower vase!
You will need: a glass jar (a cherry jar/ pasta sauce jar will do)
wood (Home depot cuts wood for free)
wire cutter
white paint
paintbrush
hammer
nails
wire
Directions:
1. Use the paint brush and white paint to paint the wood. Let it dry.
2. Position the jar where you would like to place it on the board.
Create two holes where you would like to place the glass jar.
These holes would be located near the location of the rim of the jar.
3. Wrap wire around the rim of the glass jar and place ends of the wire through the holes in the wood. Twist it behind the wood to secure it in place. Cut the remaining wire.
4. Create two holes at the top of the rectangular piece of wood for hanging purposes. Cut a piece of wire and slide each end through one of the holes and twist to secure. Cut remaining wire.
My girlfriends loved their presents! xoxo
