I thought it would be fun to use up some of my trimmings…I paired them up with an inexpensive brown paper bag…and voila instant party décor! I think if you made up a couple of these for a summertime cookout…they would look so cute lined up on a table. Buy one for each guest and you have a party favor too!

Here is what you will need:
pinking shears

hot glue

trimmings (I got sparkle trim at the dollar store, I had the other trims on hand)

brown paper bags

flowers of your choice

drinking glass to hold water & flowers in the bag

Cut about 4 inches off the top of the bag.

Using the hot glue…attach the trim.

Fill glass with water and flowers….done and done:)

I think the eyelet is so sweet too….a bunch lined up on a picnic table…adorbs am I right?!?!

It is a great way to use up some left over trim too:)

Be sure to search #ultimateredwhiteandblue throughout the day to see some fabulous inspiration for summer!
