Découpage old glassware and transform into a beautiful vase Glass Double Candle Holders

Decoupage on Glass |How to Decoupage a Glass Bottle

Découpage is a simple and effective craft you can use to decorate or bring a new lease of life to an object.

You can decoupage pretty much anything from furniture and household items, to using it as a way to add some flair to handmade decorations for celebrations such as Easter or Christmas. It's also a great crafty skill to use when upcycling items.

That's why our craft team created this oh-so-easy découpage glass vase project to brighten up table tops. All you need is a pair of sharp scissors (blunt scissors can rip the fragile paper), patterned tissue paper or printed napkins, PVA glue and a clean glass bottle or jar.

These découpage glass vases would look beautiful as an inexpensive wedding table centrepiece. Just match the real flowers to the colour of the paper ones for an extra-pretty effect.

Découpage is a crafting technique that involves glueing different layers of cut-out patterned papers onto an object to change its appearance. It's a great way to upcycle old homewares such as glass vases, picture frames and boxes or pots.

Find step-by-step instructions to make your own découpage vase below.
