Beautifying A Plain Vase

Very easily you can transform an ugly vase into a customized vase on the cheap.  I bought a vase at the Euro store for, you guessed it, one Euro.  I decided to personalize it by dressing it with Toile De Jouy fabric with French Provincial scenes.  I really like how it turned out.  

 I made the process super easy by using double sided tape to adhere the fabric to the vase.  The tape actually worked out better than I thought because it allowed me to completely flatten the fabric to the glass.  Make sure you have a strong double sided tape or it may peel.  The fabric motifs are endless really, because you can just peel off the fabric and add some new fabric!  I accented it with a little bow and Et Voila!  I added some pale yellow roses and I think it looks simple and clean.



Below, the offending vase:




And, the beautified vase:









I can think of so many beautiful fabrics to use.  Burlap, linen, lace.  If you wanna get trendy you can use a chevron or ombre fabric.  Too easy.  I'm always trying to find fun ways to use fabric.






What kind of fabric would you use?

    1. Yes, I'm sure if you want the fabric to be permanent, then you can use glue! I just thought I may want to switch it up from time to time.

  12. Gorgeous! Toile is one of my very favorite patterns. I usually go for red toile but my bedroom is done in black and cream toile.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!
