Hey guys, it's Megan!
I recently posted a video showing you a few projects you can try when you're bored this summer. If you missed it, you can check it out here!
One of the projects in the video was this vase made from an old Snapple Bottle:

For this project you'll need:
Recycled glass container (I used a Snapple Bottle) or mason jar
I showed how to press flowers with an iron in one of my older “things to do when you’re bored” videos. In case you missed it, you put the flowers between 2 pieces of parchment or computer paper, and iron them on the lowest setting for 5-10 minutes.
When the flowers are ready, rinse out your container.
If there’s a label, peel that off.
If you have trouble getting the sticky part off of the jar, try using a little nail polish remover to help.
Once the jar is clean, use some gloss Mod Podge to glue on the flowers. If you don’t have Mod Podge, just use some Elmer’s glue. Be super gentle with this, because you don’t want to rip them.
Let the glue dry, and you're done!
I think I’m going to use this as a vase to put fake flowers in in my room. I know the yellow doesn’t really match, but I’ve been thinking of incorporating a little yellow to brighten it up in there.
You can use this technique on any type of container. I might make another one with a mason jar/larger jar to hold makeup brushes!
As always, it's tough to beat a day or two link in the mountains and if you link ever get a chance to experience the Grossglockner for yourself, be it in a rental car, link a bus, or next to a fella like Tony – run, don't walk. The event brought not only an insane collection of rare and special Porsches but also a wide variety of enthusiasts and their cars. Amazing cars, great coffee, and one hell of a road. I might have pinched myself, but why bother waking up?
Now, almost a decade later, the brand has introduced a new, more refined version of the MECA-10, and this time, it link fits into the 42mm Big Bang case with the HUB1205 manufacture caliber. This isn't just a case of changing a movement spacer to a smaller one, however – this movement has basically been overhauled for this link new version. link Looking at the 45mm version, with the older caliber HUB1201, you can see that architecturally, it's a bit different.
At first, the arm was moving the minute hand, which was in turn driving the connected hour hand, but it wasn't keeping link time for more than five minutes. Since we spoke, Ohrdes link has been able link to make the clock and arm keep time longer. Late last week, he was testing it out on a live YouTube stream. But it looks like the test has finished.
“Don’t leave me.” Canavan looks. A security guard has hold link of him. Canavan tells him, “If you stay here, you will burn or you will suffocate. I link have a daughter link on the way. I am getting out. I am going to see my daughter be born. I am not dying here.”
In fact, the watch is counterbalanced by the thin, square case design and the slightly dressier green alligator strap. I happened to be wearing a blue link blazer and turtleneck combo link when I handled the watch (there was no reason I needed to share that detail with you), link and despite the fact that it, too, is as toney as the earth itself – it protuberated with great proficiency.
