Flower arrangement from used strings

flower arrangement made from used guitar stringsWith Valentine’s Day right around the corner, and a bunch of broke bluegrass musicians wondering what to get for their sweety, I thought this might help some people out.

After changing your guitar strings, you don’t have to throw the old ones away. You can be creative and turn them into a work of art. The finished product can make an interesting centerpiece or even a wonderful gift for a musical friend!

This is from an article at WikiHow.com where they teach you how to use old guitar strings, and picks, to create a work of art that resembles a flower arrangement. In only seven easy steps you can have a spectacular gift for that special someone! (I would suggest just buying real flowers.)
