Crafty Upcycling 2

So yesterday I was taking some old wilted flowers out to the green waste bin and I found something that looked like it could be useful. Some great long green grasses and a lot of them.

As I've said before, I love for things to get a second chance with a new life as something else. Enter the soup cans.

A little hot glue and some scissors to cut off the feathery end of the grasses.

And hot glued them all around.

Since there were a lot of them, I decided to make two, but try out a different method. I tried it with mod podge and some spray adhesive.

It didn't hold on quite so well. So I decided to cover the rest with fabric and secure it with rubber bands while it dried.

Then I finished it off with some cute tied raffia.

As for the first one I did, I felt that there was a bit too much hot glue showing to be pretty. So I decided to cover it with the same raffia and some hot glue.

 Trimmed the ends, add some pens, and we're done! All for the price of free- I had all the items on hand already and got to repurpose the cans and grasses. The only downside- I forgot how pleasant hot glue burns can be.  Lovely lol  :)
