Full Guide to Make a Rustic Wood Shim-Wrapped Vase

Perfect for centerpieces, mantel displays, or even as a seasonal accent, this vase proves that décor doesn’t need to be complicated to feel special.

Materials Needed

  • 1 cylindrical vase or wide glass jar (7″-10″ tall)
  • 10-14 wood shims (8″ long, trimmed if needed)
  • White chalk paint or spray paint
  • Gray or brown stain
  • Sandpaper (150-220 grit)
  • Hot glue gun or industrial adhesive
  • Twine or jute rope (24-36″ length)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Paint the vase base with white chalk paint and let it dry completely. This bright backdrop will make the wood stand out beautifully.

Step 2: Stain the wood shims in your chosen shade of gray or brown. Wipe lightly with a rag so the wood grain shows through, then sand edges for a distressed finish.

Step 3: Arrange the shims vertically around the vase, overlapping slightly if needed. You should test-fit before gluing to ensure even spacing.

Step 4: Once satisfied, glue the shims in place one by one. Then hold each for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Step 5: Tie jute twine around the middle and finish with a casual knot or bow to add that farmhouse touch.

Tip:

I like to leave some natural imperfections on the shims as little cracks or knots in the wood give the vase more personality.

You could also switch the twine for a satin ribbon during holidays to give it a fresh seasonal look.
