Etceteras: birch vases and fall leaves


You can quickly add fall leaves to your mantle or table with just a few items you have on hand. 



I wanted my vases to be all the same but you can also use mismatched vases for a different look. To make these vases, simply wrap a piece of cardstock around a jar or can and secure with glue or tape. You can find the white birch clipart that I printed out for my vases here.




Hot glue real or faux autumn leaves onto a twig. Fill your jars with pebbles, beans, rice or anything that will hold up your twig.



Add some additional bits of autumn décor to your arrangement.




These white birch vases will work for any season just by changing out the natural element on the twig. I’m thinking about holly berries for winter, baby’s breath for spring and I’m not quite sure about summer. Any ideas?


I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for The Inspiration Board Link Party.

  2. Very nice! How about gerbera daisies in bright colors for summer? I’m all about birch and wood elements for Christmas this year; and I can’t wait to see how you change things up!

  13. Oh, cool! For a minute I thought you had found real birch trees and drilled a hole down the middle. This is much easier! I love the simple look, it's lovely! Great job.
