Flowers For Your Room

My daughter is always wanting flowers for her room; but flowers obviously die.  I always tell my hubby not to buy me flowers for any occasion because I think it's a wait of money; don't get be wrong I think flowers are beautiful but as I mentioned you'll spend lots of money and then they die.  In my opinion that's like throwing money down the drain. 

Anyhoo I saw this tutorial on Sweet Peach Crop Shop for Try it Thursday and I immediately thought of flowers for my daughters room.  Very pretty, inexpensive and best of all they won't die. 

I figured what the heck I'll give it a try.  I already had a jar; I had paint, I had ribbon and I had bright flowery scrap paper.  So for basically no cost I made these for my daughters room.

I painted the dowel rods green; made lollipop flowers from scraps; added some stickles to the flowers; used  a brad in the center to hold the flowers together then used my hot glue gun to attach the flowers to the dowel rod; added some ribbon and viola.  She loved them.     
I didn't have it finished in time to post for the challenge but I wanted to share.   

Thanks for stopping by......
