Bottle vase

I am still renovating but I would not be me if I were not constantly distracted by other projects. For what is a new floor without a new vase? Right, nothing! If you have a new floor, you also need a new vase. Completely logical! So I built myself a new vase and as materials I used my personal classics: waste glass and pallet wood.

You Will Need (9 things)

  • Compass
  • Triangle Ruler
  • Epoxy
  • Clamps
  • Saw
  • Sandpaper
  • Drill with a saw attachment (circular shape)
  • 4 small Bottles
  • 4 four planks of Pallet Wood (2 X 5,5 inch and 2 X 12,6 inch long)

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Your wood

  2. 2

    First, I have sawn the boards (measurements on photo above) and roughly sanded the cut edges.

  3. 3

    Next I've drawn four circles on one of the longer boards with a compass ...

  4. 4

    For sawing the circles I used a circle attachment for the drill. Sadly I do not know the official name for this attachment (but I would be happy if one of you can close my knowledge gap).

  5. 5

    So far so good.

  6. 6

    To finish the wooden frame, I glued the four sides together (with epoxy)...

  7. 7

    ... and stained the wood a bit darker. Finally, I put the bottles in the frame and went off to search for pretty flowers. If I don´t have flowers, I am going to put long candles in the bottles. Oh, I just love it when things are both beautiful and practical!
