Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 yards vintage or vintage-inspired fabric*

  • 12 (6- by 6-inch) clear glass vases**

  • 12 (1 3/4- by 1 3/4- by 8-inch) clear glass vases**

  • Colorful flowers such as gerbera daisies

  • Fabric scissors, glue gun, and glue sticks

  • *Yards of fabric vary by width. These measurements are based on a 45-inch-wide bolt of fabric. Vintage or vintage-inspired fabrics can be found at flea markets, garage sales, or on Web sites such as eBay, Etsy, Purlsoho, and Reprodepot. Hotchkiss also suggests scouting your local Goodwill or Salvation Army for used dresses that can be cut up for fabric.

  • **Hotchkiss recommends vases from Save-on-crafts, which offers both these sizes, but you can find similar styles at Crate & Barrel, Ikea, and Target.
