Want to breathe new life into those basic glass vases collecting dust in your cabinet? With just some fabric scraps and double-sided tape, you can create a custom vase tailored to any floral arrangement or party theme. It’s the easiest five-minute craft that delivers maximum impact!

I’m constantly pulling out this clever fabric wrap trick to give my go-to collection of clear vases an instant upgrade. Anytime I’m designing centerpieces or bouquets for a specific event, color palette or holiday, I can easily coordinate by dressing up the vase exterior.

It’s as simple as cutting or tearing a length of fun patterned fabric and using double-sided tape to adhere it directly to the outside of the vase. Depending on the size, you may need to overlap the fabric slightly.

The great thing about using fabric is how forgiving and free-form it can be. Sometimes the relaxed drape or pleating effect ends up being my favorite part! You really have to trust the process as you’re wrapping and manipulating the material around those vase curves.

I especially love taking mismatched or hand-me-down vases and making them feel intentionally eclectic through different fabric choices. A pop of leopard print looks ultra glam, while dainty floral motifs feel beautifully romantic.

As a pro tip, I always save any excess fabric odds and ends after projects. You never know when those scraps will provide the perfect punch of color or pattern to easily customize a basic vase moment’s notice!

It doesn’t get much simpler than this fabric wrap hack for moody, modern or festive floral vessel. In just a few minutes, you can completely transform a blasé glass vase into a designer-looking masterpiece that sets the tone for any celebration.
