When I'm doing a craft show (which is an extreme rarity), I seriiously dislike trying to cram everything on to a table. So this time around, I put on my thinking cap and hunted around the house. When my eyes landed on this large vase, I instantly had a vision of what I wanted!
It was so super easy. Everyone loves easy, right? I just went out in the yard, and gathered up a few thick sticks that were laying in the snow and then I trimmed off the ends so they were blunt and sturdy. Wiped them down with a dry rag, and then I gave them a good coat of spray paint. They dried quickly and I put them in this tall vase:

As you can see, the vase got the spray paint treatment too. Although, that was a project from last year! |

| So happy with how well this worked as a fun and unique way to display my t shirt scarves and necklaces at the Springport Craft Show today! |
In these close-ups, you can see how I snapped off the thin, scraggly ends so they are nice and blunt.
And when not in use as a display in a craft booth, I think maybe I'll keep it here by my fireplace....
Great idea, Kammy! We have a front yard covered with sticks left over from the ice storm......so I should take advantage of the situation before we do a spring cleanup!
