I was inspired to make this lace vase after seeing Decoupaging with Lace on Urban Comfort. For my version, I used a very tall bottle that some fancy water came in. This is actually a double upcycle project because the lace I used was an old curtain valance.
To make a lace bottle you can wrap the entire bottle in the lace or use strips of the lace depending on how you want your finished product to look. Apply Mod Podge to your bottle and wrap the fabric around the bottle.
The length of the valance fit the bottle almost perfectly and I was able to use the lacy edge at the top of the bottle. Since the neck of the bottle is narrower, I cut the slits in the fabric and layered the slits around the neck.
Once the fabric is completely dry, add another coat of Mod Podge over the fabric.
Add flowers and enjoy your delicate lace vase.
I think these would work perfectly as budget-friendly wedding centerpieces. So if you’re planning a wedding, start saving glass bottles and be on the hunt for lace remnants.
Thanks for visiting.

I'm not much of a lace person (except to marvel at its complexity), but this bottle is so very beautiful to me. Maybe it's because you work your creativity with such grace that I can't resist.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the multiple comments! I'm not entirely sure how I did that.
DeleteI'm a sucker for both lace (old OR new) and bottles! So this REALLY appeals to me! How DO you think of these amazing things? I confess, I would never have thought to use lace as a bottle covering! (I will NOW, tho'!) Beautiful!

This is great. Do you think that this will work equally well with plastic water bottles?
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely it would work with a plastic bottle! Mod Podge will stick to glass or plastic. Thanks for visiting.
