Unique Laser Designs Vase Accents

Hello Everybody!

I am so excited to share this project with y'all.  It's my turn to make a project at Unique Laser Designs so I made these vase accents using ULD's wood pieces.

My vases started out like this.  I bought them each for 50 cents at a garage sale.  (Score!)  You can use a wine bottle, different shaped vases, whatever you have on hand that needs a little love.  These are both.  

I covered one with jute.  I bought a big spool of it at my big box craft store.  On the lighter colored vase I used butchers twine.  For the jute one I started off with a hot glue gun.  Do use caution with a hot glue gun!  Then I would use a general craft glue.  I alternated between the 2.  For the other vase I used less hot glue gun and more general craft glue.  It's a bit time intensive but the reward is so worth it.   

When I figured out I wanted to make jute covered vases, I knew they would need something more.  When I saw this heart and key I knew it would be perfect.  I used silver embossing powder on the key.  For the heart I just diluted some red brick distress ink and painted it on.  I love the decoration on the heart and didn't want to hide it.  

And here is a close up of the gears accent.  I love these gears (can you tell?)  I used copper, platinum, and gold embossing powders on the gears.  I glued them together with Fabri-Tac glue by Beacon.  

Here is each vase separately.  These accents are so cool because you can change them out.  So when you see a new design at Unique Laser Designs you can get it and know exactly where you will put it!  :)

Sometimes I have a hard time knowing how big something is online.  So these vases are about 7 and half inches tall.

Ok-now let me tell you that I do not have strong floral skills.  LOL!  This extends into the garden also, but that is a story for a different day.  

But I did want to show the vase holding flowers-just so you know it works.  :)

I am linking up these vases to Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #7 Ribbon, Lace, and Twine Oh My!  The Challenge is to use ribbon, lace, twine, yarn, etc on your project.  I used jute and butcher's twine.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends...what will you make with your Unique Laser Design pieces?  :)
