A beautiful way to recycled cheap glass flower vases and wine bottles! This was a fun way to add some color and pattern with a simple paper mâché technique and still
be able to fill them with water.
be able to fill them with water.
Some I painted and added flowers and others I covered completely with the patterned paper.

Watch how to make them here!
A simple water and flower mixture worked just fine for the paste. Americana Decoupage in gloss was a terrific way to finish them, too.
Make sure to let them dry thoroughly and use plenty of newspaper on the areas where the handles meet the vase.

Oh, gosh! I remember my grandmother, back in the, er, 50's, using flour and water to hang wallpaper in her rent houses. It works!

Have a question about this project?
Love the idea! But would I have to go the newspaper route? Could I paint the glass with glass paint the decoupage any design I wanted? New to crafting. :)
