It's no secret that there's plenty of wrapping paper floating around the house at Christmas time. Here's one thing you can do with those left over strips: wrap a vase.Here's how:
- Grab a series of straight-edged vases,
- Use strips of wrapping paper (or you can use strips of Partycraft printpaper as I did!)
- Use temporary-tac or double sided tape to stick it in place.
- Carefully add water and a flower to each vase!
Note: you can wrap a vase with sloping or splayed edges, but the paper will wrap in a shape more like a man's old fashioned neck-collar rather than a straight strip.
Top tips:- Match the paper to the flowers, or the colour-scheme of your decorations / tableware.
- Experiment with placing different paper at different heights, and different widths and patterns.
- Use decorative embellishments such as stickers, gems or fabric flowers to complete.
- Cluster the vases for extra effect.
- Consider making a vase-cuff out of fabric, using ribbons or buttons to hold it in place.
