Expecting flowers this Valentines day?  Why not put them in a vase as hot as the man who sent them.  You can dress up an old vase or grab an inexpensive plain glass vase from your home décor shop. 

Materials used:

• 1 Glass flower vase
• 24 inches, depending on circumference of flower vase, of seed/bugle beaded fringe (style#14301-red)
• 24 inches of imported chinchilla feather tape (style#934-26796)
• 8 mesh covered square stones with setting (style#40407-champagne silver)
• Hot glue-gun

1. Plug in hot glue gun.  Allow gun to heat up 3-5 minutes.
2. Once glue-gun is hot and glue can easily be applied, begin applying to the lip of the vase. Do this while working in small section, about 2-3inches at a time.  Apply the tape of the fringe to the lip while glue is still hot. Work around entire lip of vase. Trim off any excess fringe.
3. Apply feather tape in same manner.
4. Glue 1^st mesh covered jewel on top of tape.  Measure 2 1/2″ from either side of jewel and apply the 2^nd. Continue around entire lip of vase.
