DIY Recycled Vase or Planter

Looking for a way to turn your trash into treasure? Want to impress your friends with your brilliant crafting skills? Looking for an inexpensive gift idea? Don’t worry, because here I am with a great DIY idea to brighten up your home space!

What you will need for this project:
*one jar/glass container/ or tallish tin
* two colors of spray paint
*piece of lace ribbon
*spray adhesive
*ribbon or fabric strip (optional)
* Newspaper/ cardboard box/ or tarp for spray paint surface
What you will need to finish your gift
*potting soil
*flower or plant of your choice

STEP 1: Clean and dry your glass container
STEP 2: Lay out your newspaper/ cardboard box/ or tarp to protect your work space
STEP 3: Working in your newly defined, and protected work area, spray the outside of the container with the paint color you have chosen to be your base. Let dry.
STEP 4: Lay your lace flat and spray one side with spray adhesive. (always using your protected work area)
STEP 5: Wrap your lace, sticky side down, around the glass container. Press to secure all edges.
STEP 6: Use your second paint color to spray overtop the lace. This will allow the lace to act as a stencil.
STEP 7: THE BIG REVEAL! Remove your lace…OHHHH!!! AHHHH!!! Let Dry.

Now you can use your recycled goods as a beautiful vase or planter.
FINISHING TOUCHES
STEP 8: Tie your ribbon or fabric strip around the container in a bow
STEP 9: Add the flower or plant of your choice and fill with potting soil, or use as a vase for flowers from the garden.
Now your ready to enjoy it for your self, or give it as a gift! They are great for housewarming or business warming gifts!
