" Sally Preston-Gonzalez, the owner and creative force behind the San Diego floral design company Exquisite Blooms and the blog of the same name, routinely makes creative and interesting vessels for her brides&amp;#039; arrangements. These gold-flecked Mason jar vases happen to be one of her favorite DIYs, so when she played hostess for a recent bridal shower, she decided to dot her lacey table linens with these glitzy, feminine vases. And lucky for us, she shared her simple step-by-step instructions.          #exquisiteblooms flowers in glittered #masonjars for baby #ellieru&amp;#039;s #babyshower on top of a #vintagedamask tablecloth A photo posted by Sally Gonzalez (@exquisitesally) on Jul 6, 2014 at 3:14pm PDT      &amp;amp;gt;  Cultivate a ladylike table by making these sparkling vases:  Supplies  16-ounce jars Mod Podge glue3-inch foam brushGold glitter  Instructions   1. Submerge the foam brush in the glue, covering it completely.   2. Brush the glue around the entire circumference of the jar, going about one-half to three-quarters of the way up the jar, and being careful not to get or drip glue on the bottom of the vase because it will stick to your table. Sally has a really steady hand and was able to make near perfect straight lines, but if your lines tend to veer, you might want to use painter&amp;#039;s tape to make a straight line.   3. Working over a bowl, pour gold glitter over the entire glued area, shake off the excess, and let dry before filling your vase with fresh flowers.
