DIY Film Strip Glass Vase



My mom is super creative and crafty, along with the rest of my family. Me, however, I need some handholding and detailed instructions. (Although my wine bottles turned out pretty good!) This may be a project I could complete on my own. Luckily I didn't have to!

 

I was really excited when I opened up the box containing this present this past Christmas. My mom made this unique decoration using a glass vase/container and some of our old film negatives from the 90's we had thrown in boxes.

The vase looks great amongst my old cameras and video cameras I have on display.

To make this film strip vase, Mom lined the glass with the negatives and covered them with Modge Podge. That's it! She did one side at a time and let it dry overnight. It takes few days to complete the project but is super easy and requires minimal supplies.

I love it because some of the negatives have pictures of lots of family members including my Grandpa and Grandma Lyon. Annnndd, my dad dressed up as a woman from Halloween back when I was probably 10years old, complete with balloon boobs! haha!

If you have some old film negatives from before digital technology became mainstream, bust em out and make this easy, unique decoration for your home!
