Creating a Beaded Vase

If, like us, you find one day you have approximately 14 glass vases of assorted shapes and varying heights, get creative!

A really easy way to dress up any vase that's also budget-friendly is with a few supplies from your local craft store. Using some carefully coordinated beads, elastic jewelry string and your imagination, you can create a gorgeous centerpiece.

Supplies

Beads of your choosing
Elastic jewelry string
Yarn
Ruler
Scissor
Needle

Directions

Step 1: Measure and cut elastic thread to a length that will encircle glass, plus several inches to tie off.

Step 2: 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.



Step 3: Fill vase two-thirds full with water and floral preservative.

Step 4: 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!
