Jam jar flowers - Hama beads and florist flowers

Are you fed up with cutting and plonking your supermarket flowers in the same way – in the same old vase? With a little bit of know-how you could be upcycling jam jars and creating one-off vases. They’ll be perfect for displaying a few stems from your garden, or the side-shoots left over from a supermarket bunch – or a few choice blooms from your florist.
