*newspaper/thin scrapbook paper

Thanks to my Parents (May 2010) issue where we got this idea. My 5 yr.old
daughter loved doing this. Just love ideas for being Frugal and recycling at
the same time. How can you beat that?? Gotta love it!!



Start with whatever you're going to use as a vase. (We used 3 different
types of containers.)
Cut or rip up newspapers/thin scapbooking paper and place in a container to keep less messy.
Put some glue in a container so it's easier to get the paintbrush coated.
Paint the container with glue.
Now paste on paper pieces.
Paint glue on top of pieces also so that it won't peel later.
After it's dried, decorate with ribbon, buttons, or anything you want.






I forgot to get a picture of the finished product, but they truly turned
out so cute. Not to mention it didn't take much time at all!!

They don't have to be vases....we used one for holding markers/pencils on my daughters desk. Get creative!! And what a cute gift!!

Happy Mother's Day!!
