Decorating

A Cabbage Vase!

We have TONS of knock-out roses and I love my vases that I use but I wanted something different to put in my kitchen.  Something that had to do with food and that would look like I had ordered it from a magazine! : )  So....I went to the store and paid $1.23 for a cabbage.  Hubby was home for lunch when I walked in from the store and I finished the arrangement way before he left to go back to work.  So it's cheap AND quick.  I know that some of you have probably done this before but for those that haven't, ENJOY!!  And again....the whole thing was $1.23!!

Here are the directions:
1.  Buy cabbage.  Remove the outer leaves to use later.
2.  Use a Ball jar (or any glass) and mark around the opening.  Do this on BOTH  sides of the cabbage.
3.  Cut out the cabbage from end to end.
4.  Place a small glass inside.  Fill with water.
5.  Arrange flowers in glass.  Arrange outer leaves around cabbage.

I'm now thinking bell peppers for a Mexican dinner, purple cabbage with white flowers (TCU friends!), pineapple with orange, pink and yellow flowers, etc! : )  Send me some pictures of YOUR creations and I'll feature you on the blog!
