Decorative centerpieces requires materials that are readily available at your home. To achieve a unique and decorative fabric vase, you can do these simple steps:

Prepare all the materials needed

The primary material for this project is the fabric. The length and width of the fabric will depend on the size and number of vases. You also will need a pair of scissors, glue gun, vase or container and sewing materials. You can use recycled materials for the vase like empty cans, plastic containers and other things that can serve as a vase.

Cut the fabric accordingly

You can have several designs you want to cover your vase with the fabric. But if you just want to have an overlapping fabric design vase, the easiest way is to cut the fabric lengthwise.  Make sure that the length is enough to cover the diameter of your vase.

Seam the fabric

You may use a running stitch for a quick and neat finish. It is best to use a similar color of thread to match the fabric. However, this process can be optional depending on how you want your design to look. Contrasting thread color can be a design statement in itself!

Stick the fabric to your vase

For overlapping fabric design, you start by gluing the fabric at the bottom of your vase. Then, overlap the next on top of the other. You can do this repeatedly until you reach the top and virtually cover the entire flower vase.
