Glass Cruets

Simple oil cruets (or dashing perfume bottles) make voluptuous vases for flowers. Create a stunning monochromatic effect by adding colored water and matching blossoms. These arrangements look the most vivid when placed in a bright window.


  Materials:
 
Assorted glass cruets or perfume bottles
 
Food coloring
 
Small or miniature blossoms in bright vibrant colors, 1-5 stems per cruet
(i.e., yellow mini daffodils, roses, mums, gerbera daisies, etc. )
 
Sharp knife or flower cutters

  Instructions:
 
1. Thoroughly clean all cruets, making sure not to leave any soap residue as it will shorten flower’s life.
 
2. Fill containers 3/4 full with water, adding a few drops of chlorine bleach to keep water fresh. Remove any leaves or foliage that will be below water line.
 
3. Measure stem length next to cruet to see where stems should be cut. The flowers should top-off at about 1/2 the height of the container.
 
4. Cut stems on a 45-degree angle for better water absorption.
 
5. Before putting flowers in cruets, add food coloring drop by drop until you reach the desired hue and intensity of blossom.
 
6. Place stems in cruet.
