Upcycled Vase

I came across this pin of a vase wrapped in twine.  Of course I can do something like that.  But, I also wanted something a little nicer.

The website wasn't much help because nothing really came up on it.  I kept the pin to look at the picture.

I decided to use a vase instead of a bottle.  We have a vase that we never use, so I thought it would make a great victim.  I went to the fabric store and got trim instead of using twine.  I wanted it to look more professional for the new bathroom.  All I used was a hot glue gun to attach the trim.

I didn't want to go all of the way up.  I will probably put fake flowers in it since I'm allergic to real ones.  I hate the way fake flowers look in a glass vase, so now you won't see the stems.  I can't wait to get some flowers!

Upcycled Trash Can

I found this pin that had a trash can covered with burlap, ribbon, and homemade rosettes.  My daughter has a similar trash can, but it's silver.  We are moving in June and I figured that I should start some projects for the new house.  This is my first one!

The website doesn't have directions because it just has a bunch of samples using burlap.

My daughter's room is going to feature purple, so that's what I went with.

It was pretty easy to do and only took a half hour.  I'm not a pro at this stuff, so it would probably take less for those that are.  I think this will look so cute in my daughter's room.
