Instructions:

Wipe out vase. Spray a little Windex on paper towel and wipe clean then dry.
Adding Vinyl, Rub-on’s, or Stamps
Pull backing off vinyl and adhere to the glass vase, remember to keep it as straight as possible. Use a small tool or popsicle stick to rub the vinyl onto the glass vase. Slowly pull away backing leaving the vinyl attached to the vase.
Begin filling your vase with desired snow, spray, bells, pine cones and ornaments.
Wrapping bundles of twigs/greenery
Unwind your ribbon and leave about 6” hanging from your bundle. Begin wrapping the bundle at the base of the leaves or two-thirds the way down your bundle. Wrap ribbon downward until the entire third of the bundle is wrapped. Cut ribbon and glue into place with fabric glue. Continue with second bundle.
Curl the excess ribbon. Arrange two bundles in vase.
As you fill your vase remember to do so with odd number of items. (1, 3, 5)
You can use a combination of holiday accessories (bells, ornaments, ribbon) along with the organic materials like the Colorado Spray, Curly Willow, Berry Sweet Huck. Or keep it real simple by using just one item like the pine cones or the red mini berries.
The glass vases can be reused for different holidays or seasons. If you’ve attached vinyl it can be removed easily and replaced with desired clipart.
