Hi, Islanders!
I found these mirrored candle holders at the Dollar Tree and made a fabulous vase! I'm sharing this quick tutorial, because with $5 and 5 minutes, you can make a beautiful vase that dupes those sold for 5 times more!
What You’ll Need:
-
Five (5) square mirror candle holders.
-
Hot glue gun
-
Duct Tape
What To Do:
1. Lay your mirrors on the floor. Be sure the center one faces mirror side up
as the bottom has felt to protect your tabletop’s surface.
2. Apply a strip of duct tape to connect the center mirror
to the other mirrors. Be sure all sides are
connected as tightly as possible.
3. From the inside of
your vase, glue two mirrors together. Be
sure to apply your glue as close to the seams as possible (demonstrated in
photo below). Hold the mirrors in place
for 10 seconds or until glue sets.
4. Repeat step 3 until
all sides are glued.
5. Enjoy your
glamorous mirrored vase!
Note: this vase is not waterproof! If you would like to display fresh flowers
inside, be sure to use another cup or smaller vase to eliminate the risk of a leak!
Other ideas for this project include;
- Use it on a vanity to hold makeup brushes.
- Purchase a sixth mirror and use it as a lid to transform your vase into a jewelry or gift box. Remember NOT to glue your top!
- Use it to hold wedding centerpieces (it's 75% cheaper than most retailers!).
- Make an odd number of vases and use them to create a unique tablescape for the holidays!
