Supplies

• Jar- You will need a Pasta Jar or another larger jar with the labels taken off, washed, and dried.
• Tape- You can get Washi tape which comes in many different colors and patterns.
• Gems- You will need the adhesive gems to stick to the jar for decoration.

How to Make a DIY Flower Vase

Take the label off of the jar by using Goo Gone. This will get rid of any stickiness leftover from the label.

Begin to wrap some of the colorful tapes around the jar and cut off the excess. Continue with more tape if desired.

Place a row of the stick on gems on the top and bottom of the tape to decorate. 

What Kind of jar Do I Need?

For this unique Mother’s Day gift, you will find the size of the jar needed in the supplies list. You can choose any size jar you want to make this neat idea. However, the supply list for this specific idea just uses a pasta jar or other larger jars you may have.

How Can I Decorate this Vase?

Decorating the vase is the best part of the whole process. Decorations can be found in the supplies list and consist of colorful tape and gems. You can however go a step further and find other neat and cool things to attach to your vase.

How Should I Clean This Vase?

When cleaning the vase, you will need to make sure that all labels are taken off, then washed, and then, dried. This will prep the vase for the decorations. When you want to clean the inside of the jar, I recommend using a bottle brush for the most effective way to clean it. You do not want to ever place a hand in a glass jar to reduce the risk of it getting stuck or breaking.

Does the jar have to be glass?

The jar used to make this vase does not need to be glass. You can use many other kinds of vases if you don’t have a glass jar. Things like ceramic or hard plastic jars/vases work just as well.

What Kind of Flowers Should I use for a Mother’s Day Vase?

You can choose between many different flowers for Mother’s Day. The best thing to do is either to know your mother’s favorite flower to add to the vase or ask someone who may know to make it a special gift. However, if you do not know, these flowers I have listed are some of the most popular given during Mother’s Day. Flowers like tulips have many colors with different meanings that may be a great choice for you (Purple meaning Royalty for example). You can also pick from Orchid’s, Carnation’s, Peony, or Roses.
