How to Hang Flowers on the Wall

Beautiful fresh blooms can decorate your walls when they are placed in an uncomplicated wall vase fashioned from an antique medicine bottle. Surface space is often difficult to find for fresh flowers and these attractive arrangements will not clutter a dining table. Two of these charming wall vases could sit on the wall above a buffet table or add a touch of spring to a powder room. A wall vase, filled with flowers, could also make a thoughtful homemade gift for a flower-loving friend.
