Some DIYs are more complicated than others, but this one couldn’t be any easier…
When I was still in Seattle (and lived directly across the street from Wets Elm) I found these toothbrush holders and fell in love with the stripes. I didn’t really need a vessel for the bathroom, so I bought one to use as a vase for tiny centerpieces instead. I use it all the time!
Tips for Creating a Similar Centerpiece: Cut the stems short (close to the vase’s opening) for a uniquely, casual look. I recommend trimming the stems under water at a 45 degree angle and removing all leaves from the stems. Water should be changed out every other day or as needed.
My favorite flowers to include in any arrangement are peonies and ranunculus, which were super easy to find in spring, but during the summer, not so much. Guess I am going to need to find a new favorite. Any suggestions?
Which kind of flowers are your favorites to include in arrangements?

papernstitchI just found your website through Mod Podge Rocks blog 🙂 So many cute ideas! I always buy the bathroom sets but never use the toothbrush holders since my electric toothbrush has it’s own holder. Now I know what to do with them 😉

Very pretty! I use zinnia’s a lot for cut flowers and I have 5 sage bushes that have been blooming a lot this year. So I have been taking cutting off those to.
