It is hard to believe I (at one time) worked at CB2 for a hot second. Even though I didn’t work there long, the one skill I took away from that gig was how to put tissue paper in gift bags. Yes, I know how to properly fluff tissue paper in gift bags so it looks profesh. Thank you, CB2.! So, when I get emails from CB2 I always check out their latest stock. I love their mix of traditional and modern décor. I saw the below clay vases and was inspired to do my own version using my trusty Trader Joe’s Bag. Check it out!

Supplies:
– Trader Joe’s bag
– Clear vase
– Mod Podge
– Paint brush
– Scissors (optional)
{Step 1}: Rip (or cut) pieces of your Trader Joe’s bag. Anything goes! I did varying sizes and shapes. I probably used about one side of my bag for all of my paper pieces.
{Step 2}: Dip your paint brush into your Mod Podge and cover the back of your piece of paper. Make sure you put glue on the printed side of your paper. Repeat this until you have covered your entire vase.
{Step 3}: Once your entire vase is covered, let the glue dry.
{Step 4}: Take your Mod Podge and “paint” over all of the paper covering your vase. Let your glue dry.

I love that you reused the TJ’s bag – I always read and laugh about that quote they have on them ‘is framing the bag recycling’ or something like that. Looks great!
