Flower Purse

I've been taking a walk down memory lane while going through some old files of Farm Chicks projects for something I'm working on, and thought it'd be fun to share some with you for the next while.

Here's one of my favorites: an idea composed for creative floral displays and gifts, for Country Living Magazine a few years back.

To create, place an old bread pan (you can find really inexpensive ones at thrift shops) filled with water-soaked floral foam into the base of the purse. Poke in flowers until the display is full. For gift giving, tie on a thoughtful tag.

That is one of the super cute ideas that have me thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?" I love it!

Hi Dawn, I haven't had any issues with rust, but I guess it could happen...
Take care, Serena

I LOVE this idea!
Happy March!

Cute idea, but will the bread pan rust?

Absolutely LOVELY! Down with a cold, this really cheered me up! I can’t wait to create this and make someone’s day. Thank you! Sweet weekend to all from my snow covered farm where temps are expected to hit 60 today! :)

The first Crocus came up in our yard just the other day. I can't wait to try this out filled with Spring flowers! Happy trails to you all from the Northwest. :0) Jenni Hazel

I'd like to carry that around and hand them out to strangers. (Is that too Hare Krishna?)
