Find of the Week
I like these dried floral bundles that you can find at Dollar Tree. There’s not a lot in each package, but, after I carefully separated each stem, I found there was enough to make a nice display. I cut the long stems of the beige bunch down to fit in this 5″ tall pitcher.
Mix and match the different types to get the look you like.
Quick Tip

Fill a ginger jar, or any large jar, with a collection of seashells for a summer/nautical look. I had previously painted a couple of these dollar store seashells and they add additional interest to this display.

I thought I’d have a try at making one look more substantial. Here’s how to upgrade a Dollar Tree thermometer for your patio using a plastic frame also found at Dollar Tree.
