What You'll Need for Your Holiday Container Garden

  • Three tall glass vases
  • Rocks, marbles or sea glass
  • Colored ribbon or rafia
  • Berry garland
  • Three paperwhite narcissus bulbs

I found inexpensive glass vases in the craft section of a "big box" store. You can also find some great vases at thrift stores or flea markets. I like tall vases because I think they look pretty and that way I don’t have to worry about the weight of the flowers tipping the bulbs over. You can also make this project using glass bowls.

I used small smooth stones, which you can buy in a nursery or craft store, but you can really use anything that isn’t absorbent, for this project.
