How to Make a Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project

Last Modified: May 9, 2025 Sabrina Quairoli This blog uses cookies. It also has affiliate links. We earn sponsored content income.

Sometimes we have a glass cylinder that we don't want to part with. It hangs around in our home looking blah, but I think it helps organize things. I’m here to show you another cork fabric upcycling project I recently completed to help address this dilemma. I had a glass cylinder that I used as a vase, which I received from flowers given to me by a family member. I wanted to dress it up, so I decided to add this unique cork fabric. Follow the Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project step-by-step instructions below to review.

If you haven’t seen my other cork fabric project, feel free to check it out here. In this project, I used a tin can (soup can).

What inspired me to undertake this Cork-Style Glass Cylinder Upcycle Project?

I love this new cork fabric I found. It is very durable. I also didn’t care for the clear glass vase, but I thought it would be great to update it.

What supplies did I use to make this Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project?

I used the same supplies as the other tin can cork fabric post. Supplies used:

  • 2-inch Black Ribbon about 2 feet long (Amazon (Affiliate Link) affiliate)
  • Glass cylinder Vase (Amazon (Affiliate Link) affiliate) - this page shares a variety of sizes
  • 1 yard of Natural Cork Fabric by The Yard (Amazon (Affiliate Link) affiliate)
  • Gorilla Glue Clear grip bonds (Amazon (Affiliate Link) affiliate) to metal and glass
  • Fabric scissors (Amazon (Affiliate Link) affiliate)

BEFORE

And, here is the Before image for the glass cylinder. It is very simple and not much about it since it was the standard type for flowers.

How much did it cost to make this Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project?

This project only cost me about $5.00. The fabric was part of the yard I purchased to use for both of these projects.

How long did it take to make the Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project?

This project took me about 15 minutes to complete using the simple steps outlined below.

How did I make this Cork Fabric Glass Cylinder DIY Project?

First, clean the vase both inside and out. Let dry completely. Then, cut the fabric the length of the glass cylinder. This glass cylinder vase measures 6 inches in length and 4 inches in diameter. Then, cut it to the length so it fits the vase.

Then, add the glue to one side and work your way around the glass cylinder, applying glue as you go. Adding to the top and bottom of the cylinder as well.

This is what it looks like when I finished gluing it.

I then added a 1-inch black ribbon around the center of the cylinder and created a bow.

Next, I added silk flowers to the inside for a finished look. If you want to organize your belongings, you can use it to store paintbrushes (Affiliate Link) or other long items. It will hide the items, but you can easily access them from the top.

The Big Reveal

And this is what the cork fabric vase looks like; I love it. You can’t even tell that it is a glass cylinder. Below is the before-and-after view.
