The Embellished Vase ~ A DIY Project

Vase jazzed up with this fleur de lis embellishment!

Getting Started:

Hey E-Trenders, it's Angela! I purchased the red vase from a local thrift store. I found the fleur de lis embellishment at Hobby Lobby. They sell several different sizes and designs but I figured even if the size of the embellishment was a little larger than the vase, it would still look pretty on the vase.

I washed the vase and let it dry so that it would be clean when I attached the embellishment.

The fleur de lis embellishment is made out of a hard plastic acrylic material so I purchased Glass Bond to use as the adhesive for my project.

I placed newspaper on my table just in case the adhesive decided to drip!

I coated the back of the fleur de lis embellishment with the glass bond adhesive but I did not coat the very edges and the top of it as I wanted them to hang off of the vase.

With the glass vase on the table, I flipped the fleur de lis embellishment over with the adhesive side down and using my hand, I firmly applied pressure to adhere it to the vase.

When I released my hand, I used a wet paper towel to wipe off any access glue that may have squeezed it's way onto the vase.

ET Tip ~ no fear if you cannot get all of the glue off when it is wet, any access glue actually rubs off rather easily when it is dry, using your hand, a wet paper towel, or even a toothpick.

I placed a heavy book on top of my project and let it sit over night to dry. The Glass Bond directions state that small items will set in 10-15 minutes while larger items will bond in 24 hours.

Next step...enjoy your DIY embellished vase and use it in a tablescape or at your next event! Wouldn't this be pretty on your Valentine's Day tablescape?!
