    1. To create the unique flower holder , remove the tops of the spice jars. Cut a length of wire about three feet long with wire cutters. Wrap the wire around each jar, continuing until all the jars are connected. Leave about 4" of extra wire on both ends. Wrap wire around a pencil to form a coil. Attach a small jewelry find to one end.

    2. For the simple silverware holder, just gather three sturdy canning jars and fill each with utensils. These are great to use when you have a buffet.

    3. Another pretty way to display your flowers is to print out the word "Flowers" and cut it to fit inside an old jewelry finding. Spray the image with glossy wood tone for an aged effect. Then, cut a piece of metal ball chain and hold it around the bottle and attach it with a wire. Leave about 2" extra hanging down on each side. Trim if necessary and then attach a jewelry finding to the front with a wire.
