sticks revived

26 August 2009

Remember the fresh curly willow branches I had in the bathroom? I loved them, but after a month, the leaves dried up and the branches turned black. They looked kind of scary. (should have taken a picture of the scary branches, Melissa!)Enter my inspiration: some PB sticks.
Not so scary because they have pretty blossoms on them:
I was thinking I could even glue some fake blossoms on the now black sticks, but thankfully found some of these beauties at Michaels in their mega store clearance for $4 total. Sticks with blossoms attached!

No gluing necessary, just stuck them amidst the scary dried black sticks here and there:

Sticks revived and here to stay!

It's Thursday, which means it's DIY day over at Kimba's!
