a birch vase

I dropped one of my favorite vases the other day and a piece broke right off the top.  It's still usable but didn't look so great anymore so I thought I would give it a little makeover.  We have a large River Birch tree with lots of peeling bark that I have been wanting to do something with.


After using some hot glue and adding fresh evergreens and boxwood I have a whole new look that took less than five minutes.  I love a good quick project like this. 


If you don't have a birch tree of your own you can find bark covered containers for a great price here and here.  I'll be back in a few days to share some of our holiday decorating.

  2. What a good idea! You are a hot glue pro. Sorry your vase chipped, though. Can't wait to see more of your Christmas decor...

  3. How timely of you...I use bark on votives and vases and just made some up for Christmas in a post last night, but never knew what the tree is called! I love your interpretation with the loose sheets. Looks fantastic, of course it would, you made it~
