Restore. Recycle. Repurpose



At A Remark You Made, we constantly strive to find items that can be repurposed. These paintbrushes were being stored inside the vase in our studio. Now these used paintbrushes get a second chance at life by dressing up the outside of a plain glass cylinder vase. In minutes, you can transform any plain cylindrical vase into a whimsical centerpiece.

You will need:
• 2-3 wide rubber bands
• Tall cylinder vase
• Approximately 35-40 paintbrushes

Place rubber bands around the outside of your vase. Tuck the brushes inside the rubber bands until you have completely covered the outside of the vase and add flowers for a new work of art!
