Flower Power Block
Flower Power Block
You thought cubes were for stamps? Think again! Remove the rubber from a wood cube stamp and what do you have? A vase, of course! Staff writer and artist Mona Gettmann transformed her wooden cube (sans rubber) into a darling little vase with a drilled hole and a plastic water vial. Mona covered her cube with a pale-print wallpaper and then embellished it with all kinds of fun products from The Shoppe at Somerset. She also highlighted the edges of the cube with metallic sticker strips in matching pastels. This sweet little vase is the perfect thing for small flowers or one stem. What a great way to cheer an office friend or teacher!
