1.Utilize fun colored and patterned masking tape.
Grab some different types of masking tape at one of your local stores or craft outlets. Get home and go to town! Create a funky design or something simple. And you don’t have to have any “artistic” talent to make this look great!{found on flickr}.
2. Make it vintage with some doilies.
Doilies are incredibly versatile in terms of decorating and creating. Use a doily to create texture and some old-age ethos to your side table or mantle. All you need is a big enough doily and a glue gun!{found on countryliving}.
3. Wrap it in unused yarn.
For some reason, if you’re a craft-lover, you always have unused yarn lying around or hidden in a drawer. And if you don’t, it’s easy to find some great colors on sale at a craft store. All you need to do is choose the color you like with a great shaped vase …. and … wrap it up! This too creates texture and a pop of color!{found on pinterest}.

5. Use some pretty ribbons.
Another super easy project to take on; using ribbon to create a design. You may want to overlap different colors or place them strategically in a very specific way … it doesn’t matter!
