Looking for that extra special touch for your next party, baby shower, or wedding? These flowers are just the right thing to add that extra pop of color! Arrange a blue rose or two amongst white roses for a unique twist on a traditional bouquet! This works with any white flowers, although some take longer to pick up the color than others. The secret to getting the flowers a beautiful color is in something we all have lying around – food coloring!

Supply Checklist:

1) Vases, glasses, or jars

2) Scissors

3) Food coloring

4) White flowers (roses, daisies, carnations, etc.)

Step #1:

To begin, trim off the ends of your flowers. Cut them at an angle. This helps the flower absorb the water better, thus helping it absorb the color.

Step #2:

Fill your glasses or vases with water.

Step #3:

Add a few drops of food coloring to each vase and place your flowers in as well.

Note: Some flowers take longer to change colors than others. Roses can change color overnight, but daisies can take up to two weeks. Plan ahead if you want to use these for a special event.

We love candles, and like most candle fanatics, we’ve got a bunch of practically empty candle jars lying around. The jars can be reused for many things like storing q tips in your bathroom, or you could use it as a vase. The possibilities are endless, and this easy trick will have you cleaning out those jars in no time! Keep reading for the genius solution!

Step #1:

Boil some hot water and pour it into the candle jar.

Step #2:

Allow the water to cool completely. This step is so incredibly important because you do not want to pour any warm or hot wax down your drain!

Step #3:

When the water has cooled, you will notice the wax float to the top. Simply break the wax in half using a butter knife and take out the wax. If there’s any leftover bits, they’re easily removed using warm water and a scrubby sponge.
