A frugal tip from Fuerteventura .....

On our wanderings around the various shopping areas in Corralejo

we came across these delightful, cheerful, trees outside several of the shops.

~

Thinking of you many "frugaleers" or is it "frugalees" I thought you would be interested.

~

I thought they looked intriguing, so I took a closer look.

~ 

 They are obviously plastic flowers.

~

The holding bottle is presumably weighted down with something - sand perhaps.

Then a branch is inserted and painted a bright colour.

It looks as though each flower is made from the top part of a coloured, plastic bottle,

cut so that the petals fan out and the lid becomes the centre of the bloom.

Each flower appears to be attached by brightly painted wire

to every brightly painted branch.

~

Just brings a smile to your face.

~

I might even have a go myself.

~

They would look cheerful in the sun, rain or even the snow!!

~

Hope you like them too.
