Anthropologie-Inspired Spring Vase Vignette

Rasie your hand if you’re ready for Spring! I thought maybe if I created a little centerpiece for our kitchen nook that maybe it would take a little dreariness of winter away. When I was on Anthropologie’s site, I spied some pretty, textured vases. Perfect for Spring.

Three Ingredient Challenge — Fabric, Paint and Trim

I’ve been joining with some friends for a 3 Ingredient Challenge each month! Last month I shared easy Valentine’s Day gifts with free typewriter printable sayings. It was so fun! This month the theme is fabric, trim and paint. I thought I could create a little centerpiece vignette creating some vases that echo the Anthropologie vases. I love a challenge!!

Be sure to check out ALL of the ideas my talented friends are sharing for this challenge. It’s so inspiring!!

How to Make DIY Anthropologie-Inspired Vases

I found three similar little clear vases. The texture on the Anthro vases reminded me of trim so I headed to Hobby Lobby to check out their trims.

Select a Textured Trim

There were quite a few that were very textured and interesting. I chose a kind of bohemian-patterned trim. I liked how much texture it had. Then I headed over to the fabric section. I found some canvas material with a fun BRIGHT plaid pattern. Perfect! I thought it would be fun to make a runner and pillows with the fabric. I matched the spray paint colors to this fabric.

Attach the Trim to the Vases

Next, I wanted the pattern of the trim to be straight, so I measured the diameter of each vase and cut strips of trim to fit around the vases. I hot glued the trim to the vases. Each length of trim was attached in the same place so that the seam is straight. I did this on all three vases.

Paint the Vases

Then I used indoor/outdoor spray paint which holds up well with water. These vases will not be dishwasher proof but I can wash them by hand. The indoor/outdoor spray paint adheres the trim onto the vases too and gives the trim a waterproof coating.

Create a Colorful Kitchen Vignette

When I was planning this project, I also picked out fabric to make pillows for our little nook. Also, I wasn’t sure if I would make a runner to go along with the pillows. So I decided to line a big white tray that I had with some of the fabric. I also made a long pillow for the bench in our kitchen nook.

Make Matching Pillows

Pillow covers are SO easy to make. In 10 minutes I had a pillow cover for a long rectangular pillow form. I have a tutorial on how to make 10-minute pillow covers that will show you exactly how to do this.

I really love how bright and colorful the vases and vignette and the pillows look in our kitchen. It feels so happy and Spring-like!
