Glass vases are chic and timeless, but sometimes you need to stir things up a bit. And when you've used every old coffee pot and vessel you can think of, look to your kitchen or garden. Real Simple looked at a head of cabbage with an inventive eye, and decided to use it as a centerpiece. After cutting an opening into the top of each cabbage, they fit a piece of saturated floral foam inside, turning the produce into a vase! I love how they chose purple flowers to match the hue of the cabbage; it really makes a statement. For full instructions, go here.

This is really pretty, but part of me thinks it's such a waste of perfectly good food
1i think that's really cute, but i wonder how long until it starts to go bad.
2This reminds me (because I am an old geezer) of when I was working at a gift shop in the late 70s. One of the fine china companies put out a line of dishware called Yellow Cabbage. Every single item that you could make out of ceramic for the dining room and probably a couple of pieces that you wouldn't normally make that way, designed to look like you were using leaves of yellow cabbage.
