Home Decor - DIY Flower Vase from Salt Canister

Hello,

I've been quite busy this month, couldn't get to crafting for a while. So, I finally sat down and made a project for Altenew's Inspiration challenge.

Alert: Picture heavy post! :)

Any guesses as to what I made? I'm sure you must have read the title :) So here is the transformation - a normal salt canister to a beautiful flower vase!


All colored cardstocks used here are custom made from Altenew inks. I started with white cardstock, colored it completely with Citrus Burst ink using ink blending tool and wrapped around the box, as a base layer.


For the next layer, I die-cut 2 pieces of Dodec cover die and blended it with Sapphire ink. These 2 were stuck over the yellow base, there was a small overlap at one end, which I covered later.

For the top part of the box, I wanted to use pink lace when I realized I had the Lacy Edges die! So there it goes! 2 pieces of lace die-cut, blended with Coral Berry ink.

Once the base was ready, all I had to do was die-cut a lot of flowers and leaves using the Layered Floral Elements die set. I colored them with inks according to layers and attached them to the box.  It was a great way to use up all my tiny scraps, and get flowers out of them :)

Pretty simple to explain, but it took a lot of time :) Here are the detailed pics for you!



I had these beautiful dried hydrangeas gifted by a colleague, and now they found the perfect vase! :)





This was the starting side without the overlap of die-cuts. I covered the overlap with the flowers :)





Supplies used:
  1. Altenew Layered Floral Elements die set
  2. Altenew Dodec cover die
  3. Altenew Creative Edges - Lace die
  4. Altenew Inks
    • Sapphire
    • Persian Blue

    I love to recycle and repurpose, so this is right up my street! Your ink blending is wonderful - it actually looks like coloured card stock! Lovely blue lacy die cut over the yellow base and fabulous flowers make this a great home decor piece!
