Lace Jar Vase


So simple. 

It's been on the internet for a while, but I gave it a try this morning when I spotted that my chives had loads of these purple flowers. (If you're not a gardener like me chives are perfect! They're green all year round, flower, and you can use them in your food! Plus I don't give mine much attention and they last really well!)


I just grabbed a clean vase (yes I now store mine for such occasions), wrap some lace round and mod podge down the edges. You could also hot glue it, but my glue gun wasn't on! :)


Not bad for free. Plus you get a little sneak peek of my latest, half-way done project... I can.not wait to finish! 


(Ethan's smelling the flowers face)


He quite enjoyed being able to pick flowers.


I asked him to put his head near the flowers. Okay, thanks Ethan :)


So easy and cheap for such a pretty idea. 

P.S. I first saw this at my friend Kathryn's house, she blogs here!

      Thanks! Though I'm thinking now maybe it needs a bit of ribbon or twine wrapped too...

      And why thank you! :) I've got just one more chair to go!

      Ha ha, me too! Ever since I started blogging I struggle to recycle my jars, I just want to upcycle them all! :)

    What a great idea! I keep all these empty glass jars and bottles because I always think I'll find something fun to do with them later, and this is perfect; simple and pretty! I have a brand new link party going on and I'd be thrilled if you'd link this up!
