Best Cleaning and Household Tips #3, Floral arranging tutorial

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a lovely
Easter!



We sure did........

Well..............
I am excited today!!!
 cuz.....
it is my birthday!!
  It's just after 8 am and I have
 already had 8 facebook Happy
 Birthday wishes.  lol


Already have this post prepared
and Only giving you 4 tips today
 since one turned into a tutorial.....


So here goes...............

#13
Need to put together a quick
floral bouquet and don't have
floral foam or a floral frog.


Try this..................
and For Your Information, you
 can click on any picture and it
 will make them all larger for
 better viewing pleasure.

Get the container you want to use.

and some good ole scotch tape

now make a lattice type pattern across
the container top with the tape. Doesn't
have to be perfect as you can see...just
wrap the tape over the edge enough so
that you know it want come lose.

Stick the flower in the open spaces

make sure to cut stems so that the flowers
sit properly on the edge of vase. Mine were
already cut from prior use............

These were faux hyrangeas so they are big
flowers so didn't need to put one in every 
lattice opening, but with some flowers
you might need to.....

The flowers are finished on the outside
 edge then all I had to do was put the
 largest hydrangea in the middle and
 that finished it off.

This works well with faux or live flowers.
 I find I get more bang for my buck, if I 
buy floral bushes when I am using faux
 flowers, and if you want to use live ones 
Sam's and Publix usually  have a great 
prices on their live flowers.

If you have never tried floral arranging 
but have the desire,  just get some in-
expensive faux flowers and try it,  just
 keep working and rearranging it if need
 be until you get it the way you like it.......
You  will be surprised at what you can do 
if you just try.........that was advice I was
 given way back when I was in my early
20's from a friend who did all sorts
of amazing things in her home.
Some very good advice I might 
add................

So Happy Floral Arranging!!

Want to see it incorporated in
my decorating!

See it here.....
and here.....
and again here

This time I just tucked the urn inside
 a Stylish Tin planter



#14

Stains on clothing?

Use "Dawn" dishwashing detergent

for grease stains.

Use  "ERA" for blood, grass, tomato

type  stains or bodily fluid stains or

just about any stains really.  But this

is really good on the first stains I

mentioned.

Want to help whiten your whites, 

 use your regular detergent and

then throw in a cup of "Cascade"

This is great for white tablecloths

that have food stains especially.

#15

Gotta clean the fridge

Do the bottom half sitting in a

 chair  with the garbage can next

to you, makes it so much easier

and quicker, and it is kinder to

your back as well, and it will also
 keeps that pesky door from
closing on you. lol



#16

Want to be able to find things

quickly??

Decide on a specific place to store
 every thing. Then make sure to put 
things away after you use them.  That
 way you will always be able to find
 things when you need them, and you 
don't waste precious time out of your
 day looking for things, like car keys,
 or lists. etc.  We can train ourselves

 to do this.....if we want to, cause

I did, and it has been a great 

blessing!  

Just FYI....I do not get any
 compensation in any way, for 
any products that I mention.
They just work well for me,
and want to pass on the help
to my blogging friends.

P.S. don't know why the printing is all mixed
 up size wise, but have tried to fix it...... but

Sorry about that!
