Crafty yet Classy

Interior decor doest have to be as expensive as we think it should be. We often see nice vases that cost like thousands and we cant afford. Ever thought of making something straight from your backyard? You probably have but you keep on thinking "where the heavens do I start from". It's just creativity and you are good to go...

So now, are you ready to roll with me, tiihihihhihi, but of course I know you are.
Buy/make a pot out of mud and decorate it however, maybe draw a few patterns and let it dry. Once it dries you can paint it, the color of your choice to suit you taste. Let it dry and and your pot/vase is ready.

Now, the flowers...It's easy. You don't need to go and buy plastic flowers so that they can stay for long. Here is an idea, get small branch -like sticks(you can get outside your house or a nearby tree make sure they are dry) and paint them the color of your choice, it could be red, yellow, green mixed then let them dry.

The next bit of flowers, take your broom whether grass -like or stick -like, cut them to a level size and put aside. There you go, now you have flowers and a vase. Put the colored sticks and the broomsticks in your vase then place it at your favourite place.

Voila! Affrordable yet classy, creative and crafty vase made with your own hands.

I did one myself and it's awesome, everybody thinks its worth thousands!. lol. Have fun!
