Creating a Beaded Vase

Measure and cut elastic thread to a length that will encircle glass, plus several inches to tie off.

Thread first group of beads on elastic thread, test for fit and tie off. Now you can pre-cut a number of pieces of thread and continue threading until vase is completely covered.



Fill vase two-thirds full with water and floral preservative.

Cut stems of flowers (here I used lisianthus) to correct length so that the flowers sit just at the top of the rim of the glass. Continue until the vase is full.
