This week, I wanted to check on an elderly neighbor to see if she needed anything, so I left her this bouquet with a note on her front doorstep. I thought she’d get a kick out of how the “vase” is actually a roll of toilet paper, which these days seems to be more valuable than Baccarat crystal.
If you have extra toilet paper rolls that you can share, this would be a thoughtful gesture. You can either place fresh or artificial flowers in the hole in the middle. Either way, this floral arrangement is a lovely way to spread some kindness in the neighborhood.
What you’ll need:
Toilet paper roll
Tissue paper
Ribbon
Flowers
Zip lock bag or plastic wrap
Twist tie
1. Wrap a toilet paper roll with tissue paper.
2. Tie or tape a ribbon around the paper roll.
3. Cut flower stems short enough to fit inside the paper roll. Place the stems in a zip lock bag or wrap them in plastic so moisture does not get on the toilet paper. Insert the stems in the opening of the toilet paper tube.
