I made a trip to the greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza this morning. The air was nice and crisp without being bitter cold, very refreshing. I picked up this little potted primrose because it was so bright and happy. When I brought it home I realized I didn’t have a pot to put it in, so I looked around to see if there was anything I could convert. I thought about a coffee cup, which I think would look cute, but then my eye caught the oatmeal container and I had an idea. I poured the oatmeal into another container and then collected the following items.

Flower Pot

1 oatmeal tube/container
1 sheet of your favorite patterned paper
a ruler
a pencil
scissors
double sided tape

1. Measure the height of your flower pot, add 1/8″ to it, then mark that height on the oatmeal container.
2. Cut the oatmeal container to desired height.
3. Next you’ll cut a strip of paper that matches the height of the oatmeal container.
4. Put a piece of double sided tape on one short end of the paper and attach it to the oatmeal container. Wrap it around and seal the other end with another piece of tape.
5. Place your flowers into your new pot and admire.
