Upcycling with Floral Frogs

July 3, 2013 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

Pin It

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

Vintage floral frogs can be used for lots of things.

You have to be careful when handling because they’re very sharp! But they’re charming throw-backs and I wanted to find other uses for them.

  Business card stand Set it on your desk to keep business cards handy.

Picture display Turn it into a revolving photo display. Change-up the pictures whenever you print new ones.

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

Tell guests where to sit at the dinner table. I love the idea of using them as place cards for a garden theme party.

Works as a desk organizer too. They’re perfect storing push pins. Never stab yourself again! 

How would you use them? Let me know.
