How-To: PVC Pipe Mother's Day Bud Vase

Your mom might be the kind of gal who has it all, but I can almost guarantee that she doesn't have one of these. Surprise her on Mother's Day with this custom photo bud vase made out of PVC pipe that Mad Podger David shared on Mod Podge Rocks!

I had Mother's Day on the brain when I visited Home Depot recently. I found myself, as I often do, in front of all the PVC piping thinking "there must be something I can make out of this!" There are so many great shapes and sizes and it's all so affordable, but I've never been able to come up with anything. And it suddenly dawned on me that I could use the various pipes to make vases.

Pretty awesome, huh?
