Upcycle Glass Vase

Hi All,

My wife loves plants, we have too many plants in our house. She uses old food glass jars as vases and planters

In this blog, I will share, how to upscale glass jars into vases. Simple steps that anyone can follow at home without the need of expensive equipment or tools

What do we need?

  • Old Glas Jars, any shape and size works
  • Wood pattern Vinyl sticker
  • Box cutter
  • Measuring Scale
  • Pencil
  • Liquid Soap
  • Hand Sanitizer

Step 1: Cleaning Bottle

  • Most of the glass jars have annoying stickers on them
  • removing these are a challenge, in itself
  • Soak the bottles in warm soapy water for an hour
  • Using a utensil scrubber, peel as much of the label as possible
  • Resoak the bottles if necessary and repeat scrubbing
  • Sometimes the glue does not come off, use hand sanitizer to remove any traces of the glue

Step 2: Making

  • Mark 1-inch lines on the back of the vinyl sticker
  • Cut the strips using a box cutter
  • Stick the vinyl strips at a gap as shown
  • One can vary the thickness and gap between the strips
  • And Vases are ready for planting

Step 3: Planting

  • Plant some creepers- water-based or soil
  • Place them on shelves, balconies, walkways, living rooms etc
  • Everywhere you go now brings nature close to you and a good decoration
