My boyfriend bought me flowers the other day, and had them delivered to my house. They are still beautiful, even four days later! The thing that wasn't so beautiful, the free vase that came along with it. Although each bouquet can't have its own personalized, brightly colored vase (not to mention its a free vase, so who's complaining?), you can jazz your vases up a little. Putting your own personal touches on plain vases gives you more options for each vase, and also prevents you from accumulating hundreds of various vases. I simply grabbed some ribbon from my vast collection, and tied it around the vase.
I didn't even try to make a bow, or anything fancy. I went with more of the, "Hey, I have some ribbon laying around, maybe I'll tie it on that vase" kind of feel.
Stop and smell the roses!
You can get funky with patterned ribbon, or experiment with different widths, colors, and textures. Let me know what you think. Have you ever put your own touches on 'Plain Jane' items?

Bake cookies of course! I made my bestie Amy this cookie bouquet after she had her chest surgery. I brought the lovely bouquet to her today. Try to make a cookie bouquet for your next event!
I hope she doesn't kill me for putting this pic of her up!
