Red and Classy

 

Nothing says classy like formal red gown right, well these vases have the same feeling to me!  Two of them are displaying elements with Swarovski crystals.  I didn't know such fun things existed until I started doing this!  For all of us girls who like sparkles, these are the details for us!!!  They add just the right touch to each vase and make them catch anyone's eye.  

Take a look.

The vase above is tiny.  It stands only about 5 inches tall and accenting are red and white Swarovski crystals.  The swirled design makes the flower look wrapped in beauty!  A great accent for any flower.

 

The vase below is large, standing more than 12 inches tall.  It is accented with gold Swarovski crystals.  For this one I used Gold Shimmer Mod Podge instead of the plan which, comparing it to the one above, brings a completely different look.

 The vase on the left I made with strips of ripped red tissue paper.  It brings a whole different look to the vase.  It allows you to see stems or the filler that may be inside.  It is accented with three white roses.  A great Valentine gift.

Enjoy this class red collection!

Simple Addition

I made this vase and soap dish several months ago.  The best part about the soap dish is that my work is on the under side so should not be ruined by holding a bar of soap!  The plaid was a fun idea and the fact that the lines are crooked and not perfectly even give this vase some character!  It was one of the first group.  I knew it needed something more, but couldn't put my finger on it.  After MONTHS of serious deliberation, I decided on simple black ribbon.  What a difference this simple addition makes!  Some 1/2 inch black ribbon around the top of the vase and the side of the soap dish make this pair ready to be displayed in the bathroom!
