Style Bee - Printable - Vase Wrap

If your Mum is anything like mine then she’s a fantastic lady but she probably won’t give you much to go on when it comes to a gift she’d like. Luckily, flowers never seem to disappoint, especially when they’re wrapped up in a cute vase with a pretty bow.

I love the look of a simple mason jar vase and always seem to have a few spares on the shelf at home. I thought it might be nice to dress one up with a fun paper pattern, a big ribbon and a bunch of fresh flowers as a Mother’s Day gift. I brought out my springy green and yellow watercolour paints and played around with a couple fun patterns for you to print out and use for your very own Mother’s Day vase. See the super simple instructions below and a list of what you’ll need to make this lovely gift for less than $16.
