Rustic Birch Bark Vase

This first vase is one that I made from a recycled wine bottle and birch bark.

Since I have access to lots of woodland areas, I like to peel my own birch bark from fallen trees. However, if you don’t have access to birch trees, you can also purchase birch bark that is ready to use. Then, just peel the birch bark into strips and hot glue to your wine bottle. Make sure to overlap the strips in a natural looking way.

The rest of the collection are vases that I found across the web that I thought were the most stylish.
