Stick Bundle

Have you guys seen those stick bundles in home decor stores or catalogs? They're extremely over priced!! I've seen the majority go for $30-$40!! I love the look of them so I brain stormed and this is what I came up with.





Supplies: can of soup or veggies (already had), bundle of grass or sticks from Joann's $2.50, twine from Dollar Tree $1.00, glue gun, floral foam from Dollar Tree $1.00, brown acrylic paint (already had)

1. Open can of soup or veggies and empty contents. Wash can and let dry.

2. Paint outside of can with brown acrylic paint to camouflage the look of the can.

3. Cut floral foam to fit inside can.

4. Fill the inside of the can with the sticks/grass in the foam.

5. Glue each strand of grass/sticks on outside of can with the glue gun.

6. Wrap twine around bottom of can and glue to secure.

Total cost of project: $3.75
