When my sister was visiting Houston from Virginia in early June, I introduced her to the wonderful world of Hobby Lobby. IT WAS FANTASTIC! We spent hours in the store and had a blast coming up with some new ideas for projects. Since I had been looking to updated the window above our kitchen sink, I took advantage of her input while she was in town.
I purchased a small container and 4 hydrangeas (one of my current favorite flowers). The total cost for the project was $5.00!
On each stem, I pushed the leaves to the top and snuggled them right underneath the flower.
I cut off the end of the stem and bent the remaining piece of the stem to a little more than a 45 degree angle. The angle of the stem held the flowers in place within the container; therefore, no glue was required and I can change up the flowers whenever I want.
I put two flowers on each side of the planter. 
Here are my hydrangeas in the kitchen window, with my milk jug in the background. My kitchen is in blue and white and I was going for a fresh countryside look. What do you think?

SO cute! I love the shabby pots.
LOVE, LOVE!! There is a Hobby Lobby about and hour and a half away and it never fails, if we head to that town — there is going to be a visit and purchase in there. I love it and it makes me feel like I can do anything crafty when I walk in!! =)
Love these, the color of the pots is the perfect compliment to the flowers. And are those the white milk jugs I see too? Very cute!
