DIY Graphic Vases from a Cutting Machine

Once in a while I see items for sale at popular stores and think how easy it would be to make some of them myself.  Every once in a while Target or HomeGoods or another favorite destination has beautiful pieces that I’d love to call mine, and I can.  But instead of buying the items, I make them myself! I was inspired by these graphic-like vases I saw at a store and decided to put my Silhouette machine to work and make my own DIY graphic vases.

I did this project as part of the Silhouette Challenge, which is where a bunch of us have taken on the fun task of making something with our Silhouette machines. So stay tuned to the end of this post to see many other home decor projects that my fellow blogger friends have created.

My project is inspired by were these drinking glasses, shown on the Lily for Target Instagram.  They made similar candle holders in white and metallics shown here.

If you look at either the vases or candles, they are a glass and printed pattern on the outside right? All I needed to make them is some dollar store glassware, colored vinyl, and my Silhouette machine. And BOOM, DIY Lily for Target candle holders would be mine. Best part of this is that I already had these items so they would be free, exactly the kind of project I like.

I used various designs from the Silhouette store, mostly geometric ones, to get the look of the drinking glasses and candle holders.

Depending on the side of your glass containers, all you have to do is create a new file in your Silhouette software, size it to your container, then cut the vinyl and stick it to your glass.

I love these colors of aqua, gold and black. You can also use the negative space from a cut to put on another candle holder like I did with these gold ones.

Isn’t this just the easiest project there is? And even if you didn’t have any of these supplies, you can get them for very little and in any color too.
