Mother's Day Craft: Miniature Vases

mother's day craft dandelion mini clay vases

These mini clay vases are perfect to hold that one sweet blossom
presented to you by your little one! These are made from polymer
clay and I'm not sure how well they will hold water so you might
want to shape the vase so that a pill bottle, or the like, can be
slipped inside for water. Directions are at Eat, Knit & DIY.

Love this idea at Eclectic Mom for covering brown paper
bags with duct tape to make totes! Although they were
