Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has created a paper cover to turn any glass jar or bottle into a faceted vase, sold to help impoverished women in Mumbai make a living.

Each Paper Vase is handmade by the women of the Pardeshi community in Mumbai’s red light district. The workshop was founded by Pepe Heykoop and the Tiny Miracles Foundation, which was set up by his cousin. “The ultimate goal is to pull this 700-person community out of poverty by providing healthcare, education and jobs within eight years.”

It’s over 650-meters (2,130 ft) high and consists of 3000 multi-colored lights, 9 km of electrical cable and a 1.000 m² star on top designed by 200 lights. The electricity is generated by a photovoltaic system.
