Go
- Snap your sticks to about 1 inch longer than the jar. If the sticks
are too thick, ask an adult to cut them.
- Put two rubber bands around the jar, an inch from the top and
bottom.
- Tuck sticks under both rubber bands, placing each stick as close
as possible to its neighbor.
- Once the jar is completely surrounded with sticks, slide the
rubber bands to the middle.
- Tie the raffia arround the rubber bands and make a bow.
- Create a pattern by gluing seeds, corn and pebbles onto the
sticks.
- Fill your vase with water and flowers.
