Step by step guide

Select your glass vase - ours was from Ikea. Or try your local car boot sale, second hand shop or online auction.

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and allow it to dry before proceeding.

Place newspaper underneath and around the lamp to protect the work surface.

Cut out a heart shaped template from the thin card. Spray the reverse with Repositionable Adhesive and affix to the vase, making sure all the edges of the template are flat and stuck to the surface of the vase.
