Easy and temporary DIY Vinyl Firework Vases – a festive 4th of July craft!
I decided that it was finally time to do some summer decorating this week. I am a little embarrassed to admit that the picture frame in our entry way still has a spring print in it. My first summer decor project? I decorated a couple extra vases sitting around with some fireworks!
Using my Silhouette, I chose design #10596. I liked the little dots. Then, I prepped the vase by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. After cutting out the design on scrap pieces of vinyl in red, white and blue (of course), I used transfer paper to move the design over to the vase. With all these little circles, make sure to rub the design well for both transfers.
It is subtle, but I like the special little touch they add to the other plain vases. I also like them because I can easy take off the vinyl after the 4th of July without much expense wasted and maybe decorate for the next holiday.
Plus, this is perfect for a 4th of July party. You could decorate a couple vases and use them as utensil holders, decorate a bowl for food presentation, or add to plastic glasses for guests. So many fun options and designs you could do.

This is really cute! I don’t have a Sillouette, but if I did, I’d be making these right away!

Thanks, Kristen! Heather below is thinking about doing it with acrylic paint and a pencil eraser. It is such an easy pattern to use that technique.

Very cute! I love that you can take it off for the next season/holiday, etc. Great idea.

Such a cute idea! I have a couple of those same exact vases that could use a sprucing up! I don’t have a Silhouette though, so I will use some acrylic paints and a pencil eraser to create the same effect. Thanks for sharing, pinning now!! And thanks for your support of Moonlight & Mason Jars 🙂

Thanks, Heather! This would be such an easy pattern to do with paint. If you decide to do it, I would love to see the finish product.

Thanks, Adelina! I can’t remember where I got the bigger vase, but the smaller one was a free gift when we registered at Crate and Barrel for our wedding.
