Did you have a type you wanted them to look like? Maybe a picture? (I can usually give good instructions, but I don't know which supplies you have or what you want them to look like... )

Re: HELP ME DIYers!!!
On the computer, type everything out and line it all up the way you want it, then print out 2 copies on sheets of REGULAR PLAIN PAPER. take one piece and wrap it around the vase, and see where you will need to cut or trim to make it fit nicely. once you have it all trimmed, line it up with the other, uncut copy, and kind of trace the outline to show on the whole sheet where you had to cut. (this playing with the line-up part will take you the longest to get it just right)
once you have it right, print all the things out on vellum, then use the copy you traced the outlines on to to indicate where you need to cut. Then place a strip of double sided tape along the top of the paper (on the back), the bottom of the paper (on the back), and make a 'dotted line' of tape pieces down each side of the back. Then wrap it around the vase and firmly press it on so it sticks. (make sure not to leave creases!)

another thing - just make sure that the ink is all dried before you play with the vellum. otherwise it will smudge
