The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Wednesday, June 10, 2009Festive Flower Vase Here is another project I made for ILoveToCreate.com! Give your flowers a colorful home! Creative this festive vase with Crafty Chica Mojito Papers and Paint Packs, and don't forget to add lots of colorful embellishments like beads, ribbons and crafty little charms!
Instructions1. Clean vase; let dry. Cut strips of paper 7" L by 5/8" W narrowing at the ends to create points. 2. Apply glue to backside of papers and apply to vase in each section, press down. Continue process with each piece of paper, until vase is covered as desired. Let dry. 3. Paint around top edge of vase and bottom (we used pink at the top and green at the bottom). Let dry. 4. Cut beads to fit around top edge of vase. Adhere to vase with Liquid Fusion. Gently tape down to secure to the edge until the glue dries. 5. Wrap bottom with ribbon and attach charm. Kathy :-) P.S.

Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
