I Lied...More Crafts

Okay, this really is the last craft idea I'll share. Cameron's getting worried that this has become my way of dealing with the stress of moving..maybe so, but look on the bright side, we get to take these things I make with us! Okay, not really a reason to continue doing crafts, I know since my house is being neglected because of it; but... look what else you can do with styrofoam balls! I just covered the balls with that fake moss you can buy at the store for around $2 a bag and used it on top of a small vase like this...


Or you can use it in bigger bowls like I have here on one of my favorite pieces of furniture...


I can't take credit for this next idea, but I have a couple of glass wide mouth vases that I want to display but don't really know what to do with, so I saw the idea of using black beans, kidney beans, navy beans or dried peas inside the vase turning it into a useful candle holder. It would look even cuter if you tied a simple ribbon around it with a tassel or an old-fashioned key hanging off it. And while you're looking, do you see my new "find" at the thrift store? (it's the cream colored vase) Isn't she a beauty?
