Upcycled Jar 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 instructable, 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

Supplies

• 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:

• 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
