Uncanny Cork Vases & Containers Tutorial. Almost two years ago, I bookmarked a wonderful tutorial from Design Sponge for a cork lamp.
I just loved the idea and wanted to translate it in another way. But for some reason, I kind of forgot about it as time went on, and then this weekend when I was rinsing out some cans to put into the recycling bin, I remembered. I had also just bought some beautiful tulips, and immediately knew exactly what to make. A cork vase to hold notes, photographs, and of course flowers. But these vases can also be used as organizational containers for your extra pens and even succulents too. Materials: Soup/ Vegetable Cans, Spray paint (any color), roll of cork (you can find it at many local craft stores or order online here), heavy duty craft glue, scissors, ruler, extra pins or clothespins to clamp cork while drying How Do I Make This?
