Rainbow Thistle Decoration

"Every day I walk my dog along the local riverbank which is lined with Thistle plants. I picked a few of the dried thistles to use as a decoration. I sprayed each thistle a different color of the rainbow. I then made a small wooden vase for each thistle. The rainbow thistles now sit on my mantle. If you are of Scottish origin like me, the thistles make a lovely Burns night decoration (25th January) as well. This would look great all year round."

Materials List

• Dired thistles
• spray paints
• wooden dowel 3cm in diameter
