Hello friends!
Does it finally feel like summer at your house too? One of my favorite things about summer is having fresh flowers in my yard.
I am totally not an expert grower, but I do have a few plants that seem to bloom beautifully all summer long.
Since I am always looking at lovely ways to display them inside the house, I thought I would share this simple DIY flower wall vase tutorial with you!
It’s a pretty DIY home decor craft that I think you’re going to enjoy making. It’s really easy!
Gather These Supplies
- Scrap of wood
- Mod Podge Matte
- Scrapbook paper
- Glass bottle
- Ink
- Metal trim – enough to go around the bottle
- Screws – 2
- Screwdriver
- Paintbrush
If you can’t find an old bottle, a vintage inspired soda bottle would work great too! The metal trim I found at Hobby Lobby, and I noticed a lot of craft stores are now selling something similar in the craft section.
I have a lovely lavender plant in my backyard, and we have been rotating freshly cut lavender for the last few weeks It smells sooooo good!

DIY Wall Flower Vase
Equipment
- Screwdriver
Materials
- Scrap of wood
- Glass bottle
- Mod Podge Matte
- Scrapbook paper
- Ink
- 2 Screws
- Metal trim enough to go around the bottle
Instructions
- Cut the wood scrap into a 6" x 8" piece.
- Trim the paper to fit on top, and ink the edges just to give it an old distressed look.
- Coat both the paper and wood with Mod Podge, and smooth the paper down thoroughly to remove any bubbles. Let dry for 15 – 20 minutes.
- Apply an additional thin coat on the top of your paper. If you plan to put your vase outdoors, add a couple of extra coats.
- Center the glass bottle on the wood board. Measure the amount of trim needed; cut with scissors or pliers.
- Take the screwdriver and attach the metal trim with one screw on each side. Make sure to pull the trim very tight so the bottle does not move.
- To hang on the wall, add frame hardware to the back of the wood plaque.

Love this! Great idea! You could use a soda can for the metal strap. I add texture to the can with my cuttlebug. Could also make a patchwork of textured soda cans for background. Ideas are endless.
