Thrift Store Glass Bud Vase

by At Charlotte's House

I stumbled across a stash of matching glasses at the thrift store and figured *something* would come to me to put them to good use. A little paint, some scrap wood and grocery store daffodils and... the perfect centerpiece for our spring table! I have used this more than once as a prop when I appear on the local news, and the colors are always perfect for a festive slightly unexpected spring table.

See how this thrift store glass and scrap wood came together for a rustic spring centerpiece.

These simple glasses were 50% off so...$2.50 in all. Too good to pass up!

This old board got a white washed finish and a punch of color along the edge.

I adhered the glasses to the board and... CENTERPIECE! A $3 bouquet of daffodils welcomes spring.

Why did you glue the jars down? Wondering if it's hard to clean the jars that way.

Yes, wouldn't it be hard to wash them now? I maybe would have maybe routered a square the size to the glass to give them a little notch to sit in. Then if you wanted to switch them out for other colored glass jars you could. Still very pretty and simple.

  @Leslie Lee Diamond Leslie, it's the BEST! I have a mason jar filled with white vinegar and a steel wool pad. Let it sit for a day or so and then just paint it onto raw wood... it ends up with a nice weathered patina. I just have some sitting on my tool bench to grab whenever I need!
