Re-purposing spaghetti jars or any vase that needs a face lift makes a perfect gift for…
- Christmas
- Valentine
- Easter
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Mother’s Day
- birthdays
- house warming gift or host gift
- or any special occasion
You will need:
-
an assortment of scrapbook paper reflecting the theme you are celebrating
-
any jar (spaghetti, etc) or vase you want to revamp
-
Mod Podge
-
bowl (for Mod Podge)
-
sponge brush
-
paper towel to cut down on mess
-
raffia
-
flowers
Pour some Mod Podge in a bowl for easy access.
Tear your scrapbook paper into imperfect pieces.
Use the sponge to apply Mod Podge to the scrapbook paper coating it heavily as you affix the paper to the glass jar.
Coat the paper and vase well with Mod Podge, which will dry clear. Depending on the selection you purchased, it will have a matte, glossy or glittery finish. These vases will have a brilliant gloss finish once dry.
Let them dry at least overnight.
Then add raffia around the neck of the jar (vase).
Add flowers and you’re done.
This is a fun project that bigger kids (7+) can help with. We gave these to the twins’ mother’s day out teachers. They were a huge hit!
