If you're anything like me, right now you have a few extra plant cuttings gingerly placed in beautiful vases along your kitchen windowsill so that you can "make more plants". Again, if you're anything like me, your entire windowsill is filled with these tiny little babies and that's just how it is in your home.
This Christmas I became more proactive than usual when the vases filled up with that characteristic hint of green gunk. I don't know what it is and I don't really want to know, so I just moved them on in the propagation process and potted them up—sort of.
These little glass balls are for crafting Christmas ornaments and in this case, that is what I made, right? At a thrift store I found this cute little red metal tree, for displaying Christmas bulbs I guess, so that's exactly what I did. The great part is that it makes one heck of a Christmas decoration, the bad part is that these little glass balls are quite delicate. What I mean by that is that if you overload one, the little metal thing on top will just pull out and you'll have one little mighty holiday mess you just don't need.
On the other hand, these will then make great gifts for those friends or family members who get it. Not everyone will understand a gift that they need to break the glass in order to enjoy. Oh right, and then they have to buy a pot and have some soil sitting around to keep it alive. It's the gift that keeps on needing, but it does come from the right place.
I want one! What a great idea! Hope all is well! I have moved into an apt, could use some "babies" as I have no plants currently...well a couple babies...but they're for the mini garden I intend on planting...=)
