Fabric-Covered Vase Centerpiece

Cut fabric into 1-yard and 1/2-yard sections. Cut 1-yard section into 12 (24- by 3-inch) strips.

Place one 6-inch vase on your work surface so opening faces away from you.

Arrange one fabric strip on side of vase that's face up, leaving 11/2 inches of space from both top and bottom of vase.

Using glue gun, dot two rows of glue sparingly onto side of vase that is face up; the rows should line up just below where top and bottom of fabric strip will be positioned. Use only as much glue as necessary, or it may show through fabric.

Repeat with remaining three sides, wrapping fabric around and gluing each side completely before moving on to next side. Repeat with remaining 6-inch vases.

Cut remaining 1/2-yard fabric into 12 (7- by 5-inch) strips.

Place one 8-inch vase down on your work surface so opening faces away from you.

Arrange one fabric strip on side of vase that's face up, leaving 11/2 inches of space from both top and bottom of vase.

Using glue gun, dot two rows of glue sparingly onto side of vase that is face up; the rows should line up just below where top and bottom of fabric strip will be positioned. Use only as much glue as necessary, or it may show through fabric.

Repeat with remaining three sides, wrapping fabric around and gluing each side completely before moving on to next side. Repeat with remaining 8-inch vases.

Allow vases to dry for at least 24 hours.

Fill vases with water and flowers, then arrange, in alternating sizes, along length of table.
