Patriotic Bouquet Holders

SHOP DISH TOWELS

Believe it or not, but these are dish towels! All you need to do is fold a towel in half over a gallon-size zip-seal bag and cut the towel 1/8 inch larger than the bag. Staple the towel together along the sides; hang with clothespins; add water and flowers.

At Bellmore’s AR Workshop, create to your heart’s content – liherald
