littletree makes...easter table nameplace vases

Happy Easter to all! Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, which is rare for a bank holiday weekend here in the uk, so soak it up! Anyway had a little idea using my mum's bud vase collection, she has about 30 of them all lined up along our sash windows in the house, all different colours, shapes and sizes. (Not sure what a bud vase looks like? Click here.) Using all of the odds and ends in my sewing box I decorated them using bits of ribbon and buttons, but by adding a label they make easter table nameplace vases! I thought they would look lovely dotted around the table with everyones name and greeting on, you could even fill them with spring flowers or little chocolate eggs for children. Either way I had fun making them and thought I would pass the idea on! You can buy bud vases at most charity shops and car boot fairs for anything between 20p and £5. Depending on what colours you collect you could put together a christmas version with reds and green and fill them with holly sprigs, in a large cluster they would make an interesting centrepiece. Anyway hope you have had a good friday (haha) and have a good weekend. xox
