Spring up your home by upcycling

It's the beginning of March and all I see around are willow catkins. Flower shops are full of them and even grocery stores have put buckets full of them near the check out counters. Usually they sell a bundle of six thick birches that are about one meter long and full of catkins for 3€ (4$). Since I wanted only few short thin birches, I cut them off from the willow in the inner courtyard of our building, Then I just took an old olive glass jar and a colored straw ribbon with a flower wire  and our new spring home decoration was done :)

Materials

• four thin willow birches 
• old glass jar (thin and high)
• straw ribbon with flower wire (when you get a bouquet and it's time to dry it up or throw it away, don't forget to scavenge all the good parts like ribbons and flower wire)
