Holiday Decorating Tip: Easy Festive Vases

These merry vases are crafted using your own square glass containers or empty cans with the labels removed.  Simply cover using scraps of your gift wrap, tie a ribbon around, and fill with greenery clippings, grocery store blooms, or votive candles nestled in a non-flammable material.  The new flameless candles look great in these, too.  Scatter them down the center of your dining table, along your window sill, on the fireplace mantle, or cluster on your coffee or entry hall table.  Instant festive touch!
