Greenery Under $3

Problem: Want to add a splash of color to rooms for very minimal cost and don't have a green thumb.

Solution: Be creative and create realistic flower arrangements for under $3, no maintenance required.

Materials:

  • spring floral stem
  • small planter
  • Spanish moss
  • floral foam

Cost:

To account for the cost of Spanish moss and floral foam $0.25 was added to the cost of each arrangement. All arrangements approximately 6 - 12 inches high.
