What a fun project this was! Embellishing a wire bud vase first caught my eye when we began getting fresh cut flowers from our CSA Farm this summer. Those darned sunflowers won't stand up in a vase!
When I stumbled upon this project at
Girlistic, I knew I'd found a solution.
A 57-cent bud vase, some beads from my jewelry-making stash and a little wire. Easy and stylish, unique and functional. Can't beat it.
Incidentally, the directions and photos at
Girlistic's tutorial and clear and helpful, and this project took me 5-10 minutes.
I love the possibilities too -- infinite ways to curl the wire, beads in every color and combination of the rainbow and bud vases in every size and shape.
So what are you waiting for? Gift someone, or gift yourself, with your new-found vase-making talents.
