Fill Container with beans


Put in a bunch of tied sticks

                                                                Right side of mantle




Close up shot.....I love the colors and the texture.  (looks great in a bigger container as well.





Cost of this project:

  2. What a great idea! I never thought to look for a bean mix like that to use. I have used coffee beans in my dining room containers which has a wonderful aroma! I am going to have to check out your other days!!
