floral frog standsUpcycling tip for July. I found a bunch of old floral frogs. They’re little metal stands with spikes you put in to the bottom of a dish to hold fresh cut flowers. Today, most flower arrangements use a foam block that absorbs water.

Next time you have a wine and cheese party or buffet use them to identify mystery food.

I love the idea of using them as placecards for a garden theme party.

They’re perfect storing push pins. Never stab yourself again!

How would you use them? Let me know.
