WEDNES-DIY: POLYGON VASE

Pin It Now!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY LOVES!!!

The Weather has been rather...gray in ATL so i have been thinking of
great (and quick) indoor crafts where i am not
left cleaning up for 8 hours

and where my mini could help.
And I found this great one from

Project Wedding

Lord knows I lurves me some mason jars, but for some cases
a clear jar just can't cut it.
Know what I am saying.

So i figured this craft is a fantastic and CARAZY easy
way to create a colorful
(or tonal or monochromatic)
display for your greenery.
No hammer, nails or shellack needed.
Consider this your rainy weekend craft!
Score!!!

Materials: planted herbs and small vases of flowers
double stick tape
12 x 12 scrapbook paper (enough for each vase)
Measure the height of your vase and cut the paper horizontally at this mark.
Scissors


STEP ONE:
Start by gathering all your vases, herbs and flowers. Use different size vases for added artistic touch. The best part of this project is that it doesn't matter what your vases look like. I used a bunch of mason jars, but glasses and thrifted vases will all look just as great when covered.


STEP TWO, THREE, & FOUR:
Begin folding the paper into itself, making eight creases of equal distance.
First fold half way, then again and again.


You should be left with a 12 inch long piece of paper folded 8 times; this will sufficiently cover a mason jar or any vase of smaller width. For wider vases, combine two papers together.

STEP FIVE
Overlap the ends. Use double sided tape or a thin layer of glue to attach them together. This will leave you with seven folds showing, a heptagon. Cut one fold off if you would prefer a thinner hexagon.

VOILA!!!!!
Stand up your paper vase and slide the actual vase inside.

Happy Crafting!!!!
