Inside Floral Ideas
- Take a silk rose apart and reassemble it on the outside of a glass container for a votive candle. Using hot glue attach the rose petals working around and down until the surface is covered like a rose. Finish with a leaf.
- Cover styrofoam spheres with sheet moss or feathers and arrange them in a wooden bowl for an earthy centerpiece.
Easy Stepping Stones
Here's a way to lay stepping stones that won't break your bank, or your back. All you need are stepping stones and a spade.
You don't have to build a foundation of sand and gravel when you lay down cut stepping stones. If your stones have some heft, you can just remove sod and soil to the appropriate depth and call it a day.
- Lay out the path. Position your stones (or make your own) and outline them with your spade.
- Remove sod. Lay the stone aside, and surgically remove soil with horizontal strokes.
- Install the stones. Plop the stone into the jigsaw-puzzle space you created. Make sure the stone is below mowing level.
