VASE AND FLOWERS
(from New Life Bible Church Women’s recipe box)
This gift requires that you will be seeing the recipient at least once a month, but it is one of the best Christmas gifts I ever received!

Ingredients
- 1 clear, medium size Flower Vase
- Colored paints (FolkArt Enamels Acrylic Paint -- work on glass and are dishwasher safe)
- Small paint brushes
- Stencils
- Decals
- Sealer
Directions
-
Depending on how artistic you are:
-
Freehand paint a design on the vase, or
-
Use the stencils to paint a design, or
-
Use decals and forget about the painting. However, you will need to coat the vase with a sealer.
-
This is the basic idea, but you can be very creative here. Just walk around Hobby Lobby and investigate the different ways to decorate the vase.
-
Fill the vase with fresh flowers. You can use the inexpensive bouquets that you get at the grocery store.
-
Give it to the recipient in December and tell them they are getting flowers once a month for the year — and remember to do it :)
