~Cottage Inspired~ DIY Lilac Flower Pot - Super Easy & UNDER $7

I have yet to encounter a single person who doesn't find comfort in the color lilac. It's the perfect soft purple - the quintessential hue to usher in the Spring season. It's fresh, clean, & comforting. This is the inspriation behind today's featured Spring tutorial - It will only cost you one trip to Michael's & NO MORE THAN $7** and 10 minutes of your time! Lets begin, shall we? You will need the following materials:

** I either purchased these items on sale or with a coupon >> Metal Bucket $1.79 (Full Price $2.99); Lilacs $1.99 (Full Price $3.99); Grass Topper: $2.99 (Full Price $4.99)

This step is optional - Place something with a little weight to the bottom of the bucket. This ensures that it isn't too top-heavy.

 

Using a blade, cut the foam to fit snuggly into the metal bucket.

Trim the grass topper to cover & fit the top of the bucket. Optional: secure it to the foam with a glue gun.

Cover any gaps with leftover pieces of grass

With your wire cutters, trim 5 lilac stems from the bouquet. Be sure to include the leaves as they add dimension & texture to the finished product.

Simply insert the stems into the foam to your desired height & spacing and you are finished!

This piece brings brings light & life into any room. In the kitchen....

 ...On a windowsill...

 ...Or atop a shelf!

Customize this to your liking by using different stemmed flowers to fit the interior themes of your home. I hope you enjoyed!
