Christmas Decorating-Using Inexpensive Yet Festive Gel Clings to Create Decorative Christmas Vases for the Holiday Season

This project used snowman and snowflake gel clings, and can be displayed alone or grouped together in 3’s using other glass vases of various heights.  Showcase your beautiful Christmas vase or vases on a fireplace mantel, bookcase, or coffee table, or perhaps on a dining room table as a centerpiece.

Begin by adhering snowman and snow flake gel clings to the outside of your glass vase.  Be sure to space the gel clings evenly around the vase.  Next, begin layering the inside of the vase starting with snow flurries, then use bright white blanket snow towards the top, leaving 3 inches of un-layered space .

Supplies:

• Tall glass vase (if you don’t already have one, thrift stores sell all different sizes and shapes for just pennies.
• 1 Package of Gel Decorations, AKA “Gel Clings†– Blue snowman and blue snowflakes. If using a few vases, I would recommend doing one vase all in snowmen and the other vases in snow flakes for more visual interest.
• 1 Package of blanket Snow, bright white
• 1 Package of Snow Flurries (not to be confused with snow flakes, which are bigger and look more like shredded paper.  Snow flurries have more of a grainy appearance.)

Please note that gel decorations are removable and reusable. Do not expose to high heat or direct sunlight on hot days, sticker can melt.  You have finished.  When the holidays are over, you can keep your Christmas decorating project intact by stuffing a wad of newspaper in to the top of the vase, placing a small paper or plastic bag over the top and rubbing banding it to keep all contents in place.  Then, just pack it away carefully for the next year.

Need advice on V-Day gift for my boyfriend please ?

Ok, so basically so fare I’m getting a picture of him and myself, putting it in a frame and putting that in the bottom of a Square Vase, then put red tissue paper or something around the sides of it and filling it with candy, that way as he eats the candy, the picture gradually shows. But I kinda thought I should do a little more so I’m thinking about burning a CD with a few love songs on it (I need you & How do I live-LeeAnne Rimes) and a few songs from bands that he likes. Also maybe a fake flower, like a rose (for irony, girl giving flowers to a guy and all). I’m just not sure, I’ve never loved anybody this much and I just want to do something that he’d like. Am I going overboard? I’m also thinking a shirt that says “McLovin” on it because he likes superbad, so it won’t be overly sappy. Oppinions please?

all your ideas are great especially the “mclovin” shirt lol. and its mos def. not overboard. really cute n thoughtful.
