Where The Dollar Store And Goodwill Meet

I bought this wooden snowman container last year at Goodwill and decided to leave it as is.  I just cleaned it and packed it away.  This year I pulled it out to add to my decorations.  

But what to use it for?  It obviously needed to hold something, but what?

I decided to fill it with greens and made a trip to the dollar store, where I picked up 5 of these filler bouquets and a square of foam.

I just put the foam inside and added the filler, fluffing it out when I was done.

The filler and the foam totaled $6.00, the container was, I think about $1.00-2.00 at Goodwill.

Here it is back in it’s place on my hall tree tabletop.

With a very simple bow made from wire ribbon that I also picked up at the dollar store.  I attached it to one of the filler stems with some florist wire.

I didn’t glue anything in place, so if I decide to use it for something else next year, all I have to do is remove the bouquets and the foam.

This took about 5 minutes to put together and was under $10.00!   My favorite kind of project!
