So, I decided to make this a DIY project....Here it Goes

I didn't take step by step photos, but its REALLY SIMPLE =)

Here are the Materials:

Vase

600-800 Bamboo Skewers

Colorful Sand

Ribbon

Button

Scrapbook Paper

Hot Glue Gun

Steps:

1.) Place sand in bottom of Vase
2.) Cut 3 inches of bamboo skewers with a reciprocating saw

3.) Add Bamboo Skewers

4.) Take a hammer and hammer all the bamboo skewers down a bit into sand (about 1 inch)

**** Be careful not to break them ****

5.) Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to rest just above the sand and hot glue into place

6.) Add ribbon and Button....

AND KNIVES....

There you have it.  Isn't it so cute and all for $10.00!!

I saw this project on Ion Life's: She's Crafty

She originally used a 2 liter bottle....but I wanted something as little more solid

and she also used sugar instead of sand......but I think that would have eventually attracted bugs
