I'm back! ...with flower arrangements!

The last 5 months has been so hectic, I cant even describe it! But being that I finished Graduate School on Tuesday, I thought I would celebrate. To be honest, I was planning on going home, running around in my underwear and drinking beer. That didn't happen. Instead, I decided to indulge in Thai Food, watch Doctor Who, and CRAFT!

At Michaels the other day, there was a TON of stuff on sale! Mind you, I went to Michaels to get a poster board for my Thesis presentation and then ended up spending $80 on stuff that wasn't for my presentation... go me! :) I picked up some mason jars, flowers, and ribbion so I could make some arrangements for my graduation party. Im so happy I did, because they came out sooooooo cute!

It cost me $78 to make all 3 of these. The flowers were $5, the burlap was $6.99, Mason jars were $2.99 and $3.99, ribbon was $5, and the marbles were $7 a bag (I only used 1 jar of marbles).

To start, I got mason jars, marbles, burlap, and ribbion

I measured the ribbion around the jars and layered them, then glued them with tacky glue

I arranged my flowers in the color ordered that I wanted. Honestly, that was the hardest part!

Then I cut the edges off the burlap (for the smaller jars) and glued it on the jar

Then I put the ribbion on!

And tied some burlap bows around the ribbion to dress it up

And look at that! Aren't they beautiful?

Heres my little pic collage! :)
