this is probably much too simple to be categorized as an actual d.i.y. project (more of a fun idea really) but love it i do anyway. yes, yes, this is another flower post … i obviously have a love for the things … at least these ones are paper, right?
for this project you will need: paper flowers, a clean martinelli’s apple juice bottle, and peanut butter. ^
remove all of the paper label (sometimes warm water helps) then smother peanut butter on any leftover sticky residue and let sit for about an hour. ^
after washing off the peanut butter, arrange the paper flowers into the bottle, trimming them if needed, until you are happy with the way they look. ^

Lovely idea with the peanut butter! I'm using jam jars for my wedding flowers and have been scraping the glue off with scissors and sand paper! I will definitely be trying this! xx
peanut butter! what a great trick.
love this, sara! and i'm pleased as punch that you used a martinelli's jar! they're from our hometown! ..nothing beats it 🙂

So simple and so elegant, really lovely indeed! Not sure how I feel about wasting my peanut butter though.. might just have to scrup it in hot water.
