Re-purposed Decanter

My Inspiration ~ I love the colors in this space.
 I've had this decanter for years & actually loved to use it. While unpacking from one of our last moves I found that the cork to it got broken...it was custom made for the decanter itself so replacing it with just a regular cork top would not do it justice. So until very recently (about 2 weeks ago) I had tucked it away not ready to part with it. Long story short it ended up back in the 'up-cycle' cabinet & I had to either use it or lose it. So I used it. Flipping through a home decor book I got a little inspiration to transform my once super chic decanter to a stylish & very useful vase.



The original colors were gradient red & yellow,
(more red than yellow)
I used a silver metallic color & cream with navy print
fabric.

You can really see the pattern
detail in the glass.
