Upcycled Vase from Pepper GrinderLast time I had a hard time unscrewing the glass grinder so I tossed it out. This time, I was determined to open it because I knew this will make a nice up-cycled vase project and it was really easy to twist off.

You can use this vase for fake flowers, real flowers, and even as decoration for parties (if you have collected more glass grinders, or can apply the same concept to mason jars which is also fairly inexpensive).

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 1 vase

Supplies:

Upcycled Vase from Pepper Grinder
 

Steps:

  1. The item I am up-cycling is this empty Trader Joe's glass black peppercorn with grinder. I twisted off the grinder portion and tossed it out. Then, I peeled off the sticker. The residue of the sticker helps your next step, so you do not need to clean the residue.

  3. Find a ribbon you'd like to wrap around the glass. I used a semi-sheer thick gold glittery wired edge ribbon. Measure around the cylinder and cut. *The residue helped the ribbon stick, but if you used a different color ribbon that will show the residue then that spot will need to be cleaned. Secure the ribbon with hot glue.

  5. To complete the look of the now vase - I made a ribbon bow. I cut 8" inch of this chevron glittery fabric wire ribbon.

  15. Secure the bow with hot glue in your desired spot. I wanted to hide the rim (where the grinder was) so that is where I secured my bow down. But you can secure in the center if you'd like if you like the texture of the rim.

  17. Ready to display with your flowers. I actually used fake roses I had on hand to see what they'll look like and it looks nice. But I will be using this vase on our kitchen table and cut flowers from our backyard. I think that'll be a nice touch!
