Unusual Containers

Do you have family heirlooms that are chipped, rusted or cracked? Don't throw them away. Floral expert Dale Rohman shows how to turn these items into beautiful centerpieces.

Figure A--Teapots don't have to lose their usefulness because of chips or broken handles. These neat displays were created from damaged teapots by just adding floral foam and hydrangeas. Secure the stems with a pipe cleaner. You may have to cut floral foam in chunks to fit the teapot. As the water dries, the hydrangeas will also dry, rendering the display permanent.

Figure B--Teacups with floral foam make great containers for a topiary of tulips. Use a chenille stem to stabilize at least four stems together.

Figure C--Perfume bottles, lotion bottles and salt-and-pepper shakers can all serve as containers for flowers.
