DIY Frugal Flower Arrangement

I always get excited when magazines come in the mail!
For years, subscriptions were a luxury item.
After getting lucky, I won Country Living last year from Lakeitha at Home to Three Duncan Boys
Thanks again Lakeitha!
Once a month, I have a little get away time to dream of possibilities. 
And find a few new project ideas.
Country Living had an idea.
See that title? Big Style, little budget?
I searched all over Goodwill, yard sales and the flea market for the 'right' bottles.
To no avail.
Finally I settled on some old jars I already had.
A bit of twine and some clearance flowers ($3.99).
As I flipped through my magazine this month.
A sweet photo leaped off the page and said:
Sherri, you can do this!

Does it really matter that my jars aren't the same size?
Or that they used to have jelly and pizza sauce in them?
They still brighten up the room.
A ten minute DIY project for under $5.
Thanks to Country Living for a bit of SHINE on my kitchen table
to welcome me home.
Not sure it fits into the Big Style category, but it sure fit my budget!
With Mother's Day coming up, this would make a really thrifty gift too.
I will be linking in to a few parties this week.
You can find them HERE.

  6. Sherri, that's really cute! There are a lot of great glass bottles out there if we take a look at them without labels. Those little Starbucks Frappucino bottles are really cute too & good for small bouquets. Some ladies from my church collected a bunch of them to use on tables & they are perfect.

    Love your arrangement, very pretty & thrifty!
