Real flowers make me so happy, look how pretty they are, and my little Buddhas match the colour scheme perfectly.
If you are like me then you do not like to throw something away if you think it could have a use or is simply too pretty to be thrown away. Not only is this a great way to recycle but it is a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your home.
I have previously done this DIY with real flowers but being a student I cannot always afford to splurge on flowers as much as I love them it just is not a viable option.
So this is when it came down to looking for fake flowers, places like ikea, Dunelm mill and garden centres will usually have a selection, it was just a case of finding the right one for me.
Here are some of my favourite drinking bottles, Arizona tea and lucky beer. The Arizona ones work particularly well because they have a wider rim so allows for a much fuller floral arrangement
These are the flowers I chose from Ikea they didn't fill the bottles up as much as I would like so I may be buying more in the future. They were purchased from ikea for £2 each and came to £18 which when you think about it is probably about the same price as a good bouquet that will only last for a short while.
This is what it looks like when it is done, was hard to photograph it without a cluttered background so I ended up just taking a picture of it on the floor, like I said it is super easy and a great way to recycle old bottles, I have seen it be done with glass coca cola bottles, Jack Daniels bottles and of course champagne bottles, which is a great way to keep a memorable bottle and make it look effortlessly chic.
Let me know what DIYs you like to do, I always love hearing great ideas.
