A Vase Full of Flowers

Happy new week everyone!

Today's blah to TADA! transformation is

once again inspired by something

I found at John Derian's shop.

It's these votive holders made in Paris by

artist Geraldine Gonzalez.

Notice the tissue paper-like background,

gold rim and delicate design.

Here's my attempt at making

something similar:

blah: an old flower vase that sometimes doubles

as a candle holder.

blah: pink tissue paper saved from a

Victoria Secret package

Trim the tissue paper to fit around the vase

{and an extra inch of overlap} and draw or trace

your design on the center.

Take out the watercolors and paint away!

Once dry, gild the edges using a metallic gold pen

and a ruler.

Wrap this around the vase and attach

the edges with glue.

Even if this vase has no fresh flowers in it,

it's still very eye-catching.

Another option is to put a votive inside and

you'll have a blooming & glowing centerpiece

for the dinner table. TADA!
