t0514diy_1 — RECYCLE tea or shot glasses, old pots and tea-light holders into unique flower vases.

Bring summer colors into your home by digging up old containers like little tea or shot glasses and making them into vases for unique floral arrangements.

You will need:

Assorted fresh flowers
Assorted tea or shot glasses or pots
Tea light candles
Mirror plate or any big tray

Fill the containers with water and with fresh blooms. Cut the latter short for a tight, bunched look.

Place the mirror plate or tray at the center of your table.

Arrange the containers on the plate or tray artfully, along with tea light candles.

Tip: Using one type of flower on each container creates a more intense color.
