Jar within a Jar Vase


Kids going back to school? I think this flower bouquet is a perfect back to school idea or teacher gift.
To make: find a big jar and a glass cup that fits inside. Carefully slide plastic alphabet letters (the kind that are magnets that stick to the fridge) between the jar and the glass cup. Fill the inside cup with water and flowers.

This idea is very veratile! Imagine the possibilities. The space could also be filled with
marbles
gumballs
pretty pebbles
shells
dice
confetti
tinsel
pasta
jingle bells
buttons
little pine cones
garland
little candies (peppermint, starbursts, double bubble gum, etc. (all the same or mixed)
spray painted gravel
bandana (wrapped around the smaller jar)
multicolored rubber bands
Inexpensive plastic beads or Mardi Gras beads
beans
 (all the same or layers colors or mixed!)
