Alright, let me tell you about this little project I did the other day – a football-themed vase. I saw something similar online and thought, “Hey, I can make that!” So I did, and it turned out pretty cool. I’m calling it the “Football Ashes Vase.”
First thing I did was grab an old football. You know, the kind you throw around in the backyard. This one had seen better days, so it was perfect for this. I didn’t want to use a brand new one, seems like a waste, right?
Then, I needed a glass vase. Just a simple, straight-up-and-down kind of vase. Nothing fancy. I picked one up from a local store. It wasn’t expensive, which is always a plus.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit tricky. I took a pair of scissors – you know, the regular kind you use for paper or whatever – and I cut the pointy ends off the football. I made sure to do this part over a trash can because it can get a little messy, plus those little rubber bits from inside the football would get everywhere.
After that, I just slid the glass vase into the football. It fit pretty snugly, which was good. I didn’t want it wobbling around in there. I had to wiggle it in a little, but it worked.
And there you have it! A football vase. I put some flowers in it, and it looks pretty neat on my table. It’s definitely a conversation starter. People come over and they’re like, “Is that a football?” And I’m like, “Yeah, it’s my football vase.”
I saw some people online talking about using a recycled can instead of a glass vase. That’s a cool idea too. You could probably use any kind of container, really. As long as it fits inside the football.
So, if you’re looking for a fun, easy project, give this a try. It’s a good way to use an old football, and it makes a unique decoration. Plus, you can say you made it yourself, which is always satisfying. I mean, who wouldn’t want a football vase, right?
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Got an old football.
- Bought a simple glass vase.
- Cut off the ends of the football with scissors.
- Placed the vase inside the football.
- Added some flowers.
That’s it! It was a fun little project, and it didn’t take too long. Now I’ve got this cool vase that shows off my love for football. Give it a shot and see what you think!
