Prepare a few bulbs in this way. Be careful! Don’t be hurt!
Let’s get started decorating. Make a few unusual vases with green plants.
Take any little plants. We’ve got tomato and pepper seedlings and basils.
Remove soil. Carefully crush it without damaging the plant roots.
Rinse them in water. Let dry on the napkin.
Place the bulb on a cardboard ring. Pour in some water.
Put in the plant. We’ve got a mini hi-tech vase.
It’s taken us just a few minutes to make original décor articles.
You can hang the bulbs on different levels. They’ll make an awesome decoration for a photo shooting or a party.
