Can you believe Mother’s Day is a week and a half away? Every year I try to give my mother something handmade. It may not always be big or expensive, but something that I put thought into. This year I decided to make a Mother’s Day flower vase using vinyl flowers and pearl rhinestones.
This project took no time at all to make and cost me less than $5. To make your own you’ll need a glass vase, vinyl flowers (I used the Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge), and pearl rhinestones.
To make the vinyl flower vase:
Apply the vinyl flowers around the vase then add a little pearl in the center of each flower. I used a total of nine 2 inch flowers on my vase but you could make them as big or small as you like.

May 4, 2012 at 5:04 pmThis is just a GREAT and easy way to dress up a vase! What a stroke of brilliance. I could see using a lilac instead- as that’s my mom’s favorite. =D I featured you on today’s Fave 5- come grab a button! http://saynotsweetanne.com/2012/fave-5-4/
