    Flowers On The Clothes Line

    By Stacy 24 Comments

    Idea #5 Outdoor Party Decor

    When thinking about having guests over, do you sometimes wonder how to camouflage the not so attractive things in your yard? You could throw a sheet over them, or you could decorate them!

    Do you have a clothesline? Why not hang some mason jars vases from them???

    I first wrapped wire around below the rim of the jar and then created a handle. Since they are heavy when filled with water, I hung then by twisting a smaller piece of wire around the handle and the clothesline.

    The clothes pin then hides the wire. This was a free project for me because I always have wire on hand, and jars. The flowers came from my flower bed.

    I think they look so charming and cheerful!

    When decorating for your next party, think outside the box :) Sometimes good ideas come from trying to solve a problem (like and eye sore in your yard)!!!

      I love that idea! I could see them filled with sand and candles for a nightime party too.

      Lauren said what I was thinking! Also, I saw a cool idea on Pinterest that would be perfect. Use glow in the dark paint and splatter inside the jar. It becomes a cool sort of lantern! http://pinterest.com/pin/18384379/

      Great idea! Our old house had a clothes line. Now I want to move back, just so that I can do this project!

      What a cool idea! My husband yelled at me & thought I was nuts when I spray painted my clothesline poles...a nice pretty burgandy. I don't see why it has to be ugly dull metal....Ithink you just gave another new idea!

      That is just too cute. If I had a clothesline I would do this, then it would be decorative between drying diapers and things.

      This is just beautiful! I love how you hid the wire so it really looks like the clothespin is holding up that heavy mason jar. Great idea!

      Love this idea. Since I get so much strong wind, not sure how practical, but has me thinking about something permanent with flowers (plastic or silk) on the poles themselves. Take care.
