Materials (figure A): Vase (one that you'd like to transform -- a vase with square base was used for this particular project; a coffee can is an option)
Glue gun
Cinnamon sticks (cut to 4-1/2" to 5")
Raffia (enough to tie around the base of the vase you chose)
Scissors
Small dried flowers (your choice -- for decoration only)
- Take one cinnamon stick at a time and hot-glue to the side of the vase (figure B).
- As you glue and align each cinnamon stick to the base of the vase, be sure they line up evenly at the bottom.
Note: Once you've glued the cinnamon sticks around the entire surface of the vase, check for any holes between the sticks. If you can see the surface of the vase/pot, go ahead and glue another stick in between. This also gives the vase a more rugged, layered look.
- Twist the raffia until it resembles a rope, then tie around the vase in a bow.
- Top off the decorative vase by gluing dried flowers on it.
Tip: Following the steps above, you can use your imagination to transform that old pot that hasn't been used in ages. You can convert terra-cotta pots, for example.
Products: All materials can be found at fabric and floral stores.
