A pretty decorative vase to brighten your home this Christmas
Materials
- 1 block of floral foam
- 1 large fish bowl vase
- 2 Nautical ropes
- Glue gun
- 4-5 mini glue sticks
- 2 Holiday floral picks
- 1 Eucalyptus bunch
Instructions
- Take the black pieces of tape off of the nautical rope.
- Using your glue gun start with a small section of glue on the bottom edge of the fishbowl vase, glue around the bottom edge and place the nautical rope on top of the glue.
- Continue this process making sure that the there are no spaces in between the ropes until the rope is done.
- Add the next rope and continue until you reach the top of the vase.
- Trim the end and glue.
- Try making sure that you end where the other pieces ended so that you have a clean finish.
- Place the floral foam block into the vase.
- Cut the eucalyptus bunch into smaller pieces and add the eucalyptus around the edges .
- Do the same with the floral pick from Joann (I just cut the paper part and it divided into pieces).
Notes
Most supplies can be found in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl and the Range.
You can forage for greenery on your walks there are plenty of things in the hedgerows tht you can pop in your new vase.
