Queen's

Blue in container and leafs

Cuando hace un tiempo empecé a preparar centros de flores, utilizaba jarrones y otros recipientes que tenía por casa. Hasta que caí en reciclar los botes de cristal de salsas, mermeladas, conservas, etc.; si te fijas, hay muchos alimentos que vienen envasados en botes de cristal, y que son perfectos para reutilizar.

El principal inconveniente estaba en que, al ser de cristal, dejaban a la vista los tallos de las flores o la espuma de florista. Para solucionarlo, se me ocurrió pintar los botes con sprays de color para grafitis de la firma Montana, que tiene una magnífica variedad de colores y acabados (www.montanacolors.com).

Kind of blue-grey, in vessel and also in eucalyptus

Desde luego, no inventaba nada, pero: reciclaba algo que de otro modo hubiera tirado; lo customizaba a mi gusto, con diferentes colores, que puedo escoger en función del color predominante en el centro floral; y lo combinaba además con otros elementos secos (hojas, ramas, etc ...) que pinto del mismo color y coloco entre los centros. 

Con la ayuda de una experta coach (Mª Pilar Casanova, www.mindfulmanagement.es), los recipientes quedaron bautizados como queen's, en honor al nombre del blog.

When a while ago I started to prepare home centerpieces, I used vases and other containers I had at home. Until I realized I could recycle glass jars of sauces, jams, and so on. If you pay attention, there are many foods that are packaged in glass jars, which are perfect for reuse as makeshift containers for flowers.

 

The main problem was that, being made of glass, it leaved in view the stems of the flowers or the florist foam. To solve this, I decided to paint the cans with color sprays for graffiti Montana firm, which has a great variety of colors and finishes (www.montanacolors.com).

Pink, as the dahlias

 

Copper-colored in can and craspedias

Certainly I did not invent anything, but I got:  recycling something that otherwise would have been thrown; redecorate according my taste, in different colors, which I can choose based on the predominant color in the floral center; and further combining with other dry elements (leaves, branches, etc ...) painted in the same color and stand among the centers.

With the help of an expert coach (Mª Pilar Casanova, www.mindfulmanagement.es), the containers were baptized as Queen's, in honor of the blog name.
