Upcycled Vase

A little sparkle is always nice this time of year. Here is an easy-peasy way to create an attractive container for your Christmas décor. Just begin with a vase of your choice. You can always pick-up one at the dollar store, but chances are you already have one tucked under your kitchen sink! 

Use a ribbon of your choice. I happen to be into the gem ribbons from craft stores. The dollar stores also carry these in a wider version. An added bonus is that a lot of the "diamond" ribbons are self-adhesive! 


Wrap it around your glass vessel. 


Now it's ready to fill as you desire. You can use faux greenery with a flameless candle since you'd never want to have a real flame next to anything that could catch on fire.
Another option is to fill it with faux greenery.

You could dress-up any size container with these gems in an instant! If you'd prefer, you could use a pretty ribbon instead. 


When filling the vase with greenery,  you can crumble tissue paper, add pebbles or even faux snow to conceal your stems. Another option, of course, would be to use fresh flowers in water. Use your creativity to come up with what works for you! It doesn't have to take a lot of time or effort to add a little sparkle to what you already have on hand.

Weekend blessings to you all and may your day sparkle with happiness!
