DIY: Patron Vases

Items necessary for this project:

Fake flowers (I found these at Ikea for .99 cents a piece!)

Scissors, razor blade & a vase filler of your choice.  I chose sea glass (found at Target) & aquarium rocks (found at Michael's Arts & Crafts).

A Patron bottle.  Decide which suits you best as all three differ in their shape & texture. 

Step 1: Using a wet paper towel or cloth, dampen the stickers on the bottle.  Next, using the razor blade, scrape off the remainder of the labels on the bottle.

This should result in a nice clean bottle free of Patron labels.

Step 2:  Fill the bottle full of the sea glass or whatever filler you have chosen.  Note: If using sea glass, some of the pieces may be too large to fit through the opening of the bottle.  Use a hammer to break these larger chunks of glass into smaller pieces so they may fit through the opening.

This should result in a bottle full of sea glass.  It is your choice as to how much you fill the vase.  For this one, I chose to fill it completely to the top.  

Step 3: Cut the flower to your desired length.  For the Patron bottle, I chose to cut the flowers very short so that they barely stick out of the neck of the bottle.

Step 4:  Arrange the flowers so that they are very close to each other.
