In my Design Notes column in today's Home & Style section, I share some ideas from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on giving new life to old vases.
One idea involved artfully arranging tissue paper in a cylindrical glass vase -- a look kids will surely enjoy.
We didn't publish the photograph -- but here it is.
And here are the directions: Purchase a package of multicolored tissue paper. Wad up a sheet of
tissue paper loosely, and place in the bottom of the vase. Repeat this step two more times.
Next, take a sheet of tissue paper and grab from the middle and place into the vase. Repeat
this step four to six more times.
This should only cost a couple bucks.
