When gardening is a passion and flowers adorning beautiful vases are part of your everyday decor, you can call yourself lucky. Lucky to be one of those who see the beauty in the world, in every colorful petal.
When it’s that easy to incorporate your own time and handywork into a decorative item, it becomes more than a concept. We all know that any object crafted to satisfaction with your own hands holds a special place in your heart and enhances your creativity. A project as easy as the Paint Dipped Bud Vases could very well whet your appetite for more fantastic DIY projects.
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. – Chinese Proverb
