 Making a vase or mason jar into a striking display.

Using leaves to decorate the inside of a vase or a mason jar before you put flowers in the vessel is a perfect way to make a striking display.  You can use Iris leaves (variegated is nice), Hosta leaves, or any leaves to wrap around the inside of the jar.  The leaves can simply be lining the inside of the jar or you could even braid them before placing in the vessel.  You could use any type of leaf, even eucalyptus leaves work.
