Make a Crystal Reflections Vase
|
| Here's a Shopping List for What You'll Need to Get Going: |
|
|
|
|
|
Start with a 15-inch oversized glass vase that has enough volume to contain the ornaments, lights and crystal fiber.
|
Special frosted glass ornaments are perfect for glowing warmly while hiding the wire and light bulbs. You'll need 24 ornaments.
|
Festive wired ribbon from our Floral Dept will be used to adorn the vase. You'll need 5 yards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A roll of White Floral Tape is needed for tying off and securing the lights inside the ornaments.
|
You'll need some craft lights with white wiring so that the wire doesn't stand out. You want at least a 20 count light set so that you can put at least one bulb in each ornament.
|
Crystal Fiber is used to create a pleasing wintery snow-like effect around the glowing frosted ornaments. You'll need two packages.
|
|
|
Here's how to make and enjoy it as easy as 1-2-3:
|
| 1. Wire Up the Ornaments: Remove the caps from all the frosted ornaments. Insert one clear light into each glass ball and secure it with white floral tape |
| 2. Put in the Crystal Fiber and Arrange the Wired Ornaments: Layer some crystal fiber in the bottom of the vase, then layer several glass ornaments on top of the fiber, placing the cord towards the center of the vase so it is not visible from the outside. Add some more crystal fiber and more ornaments alternatively and use some of the fiber in specific places to hide the wire. |
3. Tie on the Wired Ribbon, Plug in Your Lights and Enjoy the Results!
Use enough ribbon to tie full bow with multiple loops. Wired ribbon is great for shaping and arranging the loops for a more pleasing effect. Now you are ready! Plug in and enjoy your wintery new Crystal Reflections vase! |
