Crystal Embellished Believe Vase
Jazz up your home decor with this Crystal Embellished Believe Vase. It's one the easiest crafts around. You can take your plain glass vase and turn it into a dazzling accent piece for any room in your house. Pick a word that has a special meaning to you and draw it on the side. Once you've added a few crystals you'll have a stunning piece of DIY home decor to put anywhere. With a bit of sparkle, this vase will add a touch of glam to any room you put it in.
Materials:
- Elmer’s CraftBond® precision embellishment glue
- Elmer’s painters pens in color of your choice (white used on this project)
- Glass vase, cylinder shape
- Various sized crystals
- Tweezers
Instructions:
-
With the Elmer’s Painters Pen, write a word in cursive on the vase, vertically. Laying the vase on its side on a tabletop can make this process easier. You can freestyle the word or use a flexible stencil. Allow to dry.
-
Add thicker details to the letters using the Elmer’s Paint Pen. Allow to dry.
-
Add dots of Elmer’s CraftBond® Embellishment Glue to the vase where crystals should be applied.
-
Use the tweezers to add crystals to the dots of Elmer’s CraftBond® Embellishment Glue. Allow to dry for at least 30 minutes.
-
If you get glue on the glass by accident, wipe away with a damp paper towel. If the glue has dried, use a razor blade to remove it. Draw the wording with a permanent marker onto the glass before using the Painters Pen if you are concerned about getting the cursive writing correct. Use a darker Painters Pen to cover the permanent marker markings. Use glass cleaner and a soft towel to clean the vase before use.

This looks so simple and pretty, but since my daughter has better hand writing, I think I will need to recruit her.

What a great idea! I have several old glass tumblers that we don't use anymore. I hate to throw them out because they are still good. May try this instead!

You could probably even print out your word and tape it to the inside of the vase to use as a guide. Very cool project.

This needs to be on the entertainment center in the living room. There is so much you can do with it, not just holding flowers. Colored stones, coins, candy, wishes, so many ideas...

Another winning Grand Kid project, and easy for them to do. I thought use their names on short glass jars for barrettes , and such in the bathroom. Pretty and neat at the same time.

I love this project and the effects from the room lighting is awesome. I did one in silver for my tree room and the tree lights are reflected in the vase so looks like the vase has the same lights in it

So pretty, and I love the butterfly! I make a lot of crafts, especially at Christmas for gifts and sales. I never knew about this embellishment glue, I so could have used this on products this season! Next year; you can BELIEVE I will try it for sure.

This looks like an enjoyable project to do with my grandkids! Nothing makes a better gift than the creativity of children. We could have a lot of fun with this, not just the decoration but also the filling of the vase with fun and interesting items. :)

I like to bring flowers to special people. I could use this to decorate a recycled glass jar. No need to spend money on a vase. I could also decorate bud vases I buy at tag sales.

This idea would be nice on generic, plain glasses for a party - customized with each guest's name so everyone can know which glass is his/hers.

I have not tried this yet, but I bought some small mason jars with fruit decorations on them. My plan was to paint the fruit on the jars to match my kitchen decor. The jars are still in the box cause I haven't found the right paint. This would be a perfect gift!!!
