I came across this DIY from papernstichblog.com and fell in love with the idea.

Make these vases to be used as organizational containers for your pens/pencils, to hold notes, photographs, and of course flowers. What a great way to maximize surface area to post reminders, and such a chic use of recycled goods!

It could also be used as party/wedding favor place cards. Click here to learn how to make your own!
