How to Make Unique Flower Vases You Can Customize for Any Occasion

Vases filled with beautiful flowers are a great way to compliment the d?cor of any home. Instead of buying a different vase to compliment each flower you want to display, why not make your own interchangeable vases that can be customized to meet the needs of any d?cor? Heres how to make unique, customized flower vases for every occasion:

Make unique flower vases: Purchase clear glass containers

To make your flower vases, youll need several clear glass containers in two different sizes. The first group of containers can be the size of your choice. The second group of containers should be slightly shorter and at least an inch and a half narrower in width so they can easily fit inside the larger glass containers. The smaller glass containers can be any type of inexpensive glass container from a drinking glass to an old vase as long as it fits inside the larger glass container with an inch and a half to spare around the edges.

Make unique flower vases: Prepare your flowers and the first glass container

Select your flowers and trim them so the stems are even in length. Bundle them together with a rubber band or other secure cord. Fill one of your smaller glass vases partially with water and place your bound group of flowers inside the smaller glass vase. Add more water if necessary.

Make unique flower vases: Prepare your larger glass container

Place the smaller glass container with the water and flowers into the middle of the larger glass vase.

Make unique flower vases: Time for decoration

The object is to fill the space between the smaller glass container and the larger glass container with small decorative items that compliment the flowers and your d?cor. Its time to use your imagination! Fill the gap with colored sand, pieces of colorful sea glass, brightly colored beads, tiny glass gemstones, or any other objects small enough to fill the gap.

For Valentines Day, fill the container with candy hearts to create a unique "I love you" vase to compliment pretty flowers such as tulips. For Halloween, fill a vase with candy corn. If your home is decorated in neutral shades, fill the container with tiny seashells to compliment white roses. The beauty of this type of vase is you can quickly customize and change the look to fit any occasion. Youll enjoy the flexibility of this type of customized vase that you decorate yourself.
