I was planning to buy some flowers for my friend who is returning to Brooklyn after being on the West Coast since March, but when I saw these in my craft box I knew they would make for the perfect ‘welcome home’ gift.

As I have written many times on this blog, I try my best to refrain from buying unnecessary things and find joy in figuring out ways to breathe new life into unwanted/old objects. So naturally I got very excited by the idea of giving these flowers a makeover and a new home.

Originally, I was planning to make one arrangement, but decided to make a trio of mini arrangements with some glass tubes I had around the apartment. I think they turned out so darling and cute! They make me smile.
