Decorative Vase  How to make a decorativ vase

Vases are a versatile decoration, filling in anywhere from adding some personality to your sideboard to acting as the centerpiece at a dinner party or wedding reception. Martha, one of our first English-language contributors, created this tutorial for a decorated vase. You, too, can transform a plain glass vase into a nature-inspired statement piece.

Here, the design is layered, but you can make any pattern you want!
