Thanksgiving Vase

What you need:

1 Bag of white beans

1 bag of black beans

1 bag of lentil beans

Fall silk flowers

Directions:

The beauty of this vase is that it makes a beautiful table setting throughout the fall season. No matter if you've ever created a flower arrangement or not, you will be amazed at how simple this is to create. To begin you want to start layering the beans in your vase. The amount of each bean is totally up to your taste. Continue layering the beans until you reach the top of the vase. Now you are ready to start building your flower arrangement.

When you create a flower arrangement, you really want the look to be about you. If you are simple, just add a few different "fallish" flowers. If you want more glamorous, you can add as many different types of flowers as you like. When you go to the craft section to pick out your flowers, try to get flowers that all match.

You will need either wire cutters or scissors to trim the silk flowers. Each silk flower can be a different size so each flower works with each other. There is no rhyme or reason to creating an arrangement. Use your imagination to create this simple Thanksgiving vase.

If you are nervous about creating a flower arrangement, don't worry about adding flowers. The vase with the beans makes a beautiful centerpiece all by itself.
