Christmas jars pohutukawa

Love this idea from one of our fantastic stockists Eko Hub in Whangarei. If you are up that way go and check them out, their store offers a wide variety of items such as cleaning and laundry products, DIY cosmetic ingredients, produce bags, cosmetics, bamboo products, shampoo and conditioner bars, stainless steel products, organic loose leaf teas, eco gifts and much more.

Find out how to make these gorgeous Christmas table decorations. They’re so simple, and you could use them throughout the year with different plants or flowers inside.

Bottlebrush Table Decorations

Remove labels from glass jars. Pasta sauce jars seem to work well as they have a curved base and fit the bottlebrush nicely.

Collect flowers and cut to length. Please be mindful these flowers provide food for wildlife and just collect a few. Place flower in the jar with top pointing down.

Fill the jar on a flat surface with cold tap water as close to top as possible (keep a towel handy). Screw on the lid as tightly as possible.

Dry the jar and turn upside down. Water needs to be changed when cloudy. The flowers last really well submerged, around 3-4 weeks. The jar can be decorated with ribbon if you prefer.

Thanks to Olinda Collective for the lovely photo.
