ThelmaLou Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I have a set of 3 glass cylinders of varying height. Each one has a glass insert that rests on top for a candle, but the cylinders themselves are hollow and meant to be filled with decorative items. I've used cranberries and pine boughs at Christmas, sea shells in the summer, easter egg candies at Easter, and several other items depending on the holiday. I'm throwing a baby girl shower, and want to use these cylinders, but can't think of anything to fill them with that's pinkish and inexpensive. Any ideas?

TN Mama Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 M&Ms, florist beads in pink, tulle or ribbon, aquarium marbles ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaLou Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I think I might do the tulle idea, along with some artifical flowers woven in. Going to the craft store tonight to see what I can find. Thanks for the ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'd fill one with sugar, one with spice, and the other with everything nice! Everything nice could be soothers, pink blocks, pink hair ribbons, pink frilly socks, pink everything, but that's if you like a conversation piece for decor. I love the tule idea too, but I'd "float" some baby rubber ducks in the tulle to make it babyish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I would put girly items in there that you can give to the mama-to-be...like pink socks, frilly tights, hairbows, washcloths rolled up, bibs...whatever. That way it is something that can be used. Have fun! I love hosting baby showers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckabell Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I was at the Dollar Tree last week and saw a whole bunch of plastic pink and blue pacifiers and diaper pins in their party favor aisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaLou Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 These are all great ideas! I bought pink tulle to go inside the vases and lavender to tier in a bow on the outside. I think I might try the Dollar Tree idea, though, and see if I can weave some baby items in with the toulle to "baby" it up a little bit more. Thanks, ladies!
