I used some hydrangeas from the garden and from my Monday Morning Blooms arrangement for the wall basket.Ĭut hydrangeas are notorious for wilting, so here’s a handy tip: Now it’s ready to hang and fill with water and flowers! These magnets are currently unavailable but there are some similar ones, here. The magnets were originally gold so I gave them a 2-minute makeover, adding some silver highlights, HERE, transforming them with Rub ‘n Buff. I used my bee magnets to add some additional *buzz* to the wall basket! Once the envelope was dry, I placed it inside the metal basket. Three light coats of spray paint later, the blue lettering and white background of the envelope were gone, now blending with the galvanized finish. It dries to the touch in 30 minutes and covers plastic, metal, wood, fiberglass, concrete, wicker, vinyl and more. I used Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Spray Paint in Antique Nickel, leftover from my Whimsical Garden Flower Stakes, to cover the front of the envelope.
I placed the envelope inside the basket, trimming the top a couple of inches to fit, while keeping my fingers crossed it would hold water without leaking. Using an Amazon shipping envelope turned out to *bee* a ‘Prime solution’ ) serving as a waterproof liner to hold flowers! The Amazon Prime van pulls in our driveway at least once a week, so we always have envelopes and boxes to recycle. To use it on the door as a vase for flowers, I needed a liner of some type that would hold water and conceal the flower stems as I didn’t want the stems to detract from the honeycomb detail. I loved the hexagonal honeycomb cutout design with bees as well as the combination of the rust with the galvanized finish. I was buzzing with excitement over this galvanized bee door basket I found at Hobby Lobby at 50% off a few weeks ago. For more information see my disclosure policy. I filled a basket with some garden blooms to hang in welcome on the door of the Potting Shed and to celebrate the bees! “The hum of bees is the voice of the garden.”
Long time readers know that I love all things *bee* and that includes those that buzz and bumble around the garden! Happy Thursday and National Pollinator Week! Upcycle an Amazon Prime Envelope and create an arrangement buzzing with blooms in honor of National Pollinator Week.
