Simple Project: Easy Vases for Empty Corner

I had a few empty corners that needed a little something to fill them. I wanted to find an inexpensive solution to dress these naked corners up a bit, so I went to Hobby Lobby with my trusty 40% off coupon (seriously, they have deals every week!) to browse and see if something “inspired” me. I found these great vases for less than $10 each. Next, I took a stroll down the floral aisle and found the perfect accent pieces to go inside each one. Each floral piece was between $2.00 to $7.00.

Picking out the vase and accent florals is the toughest part of this whole tutorial, so once that’s done, assembly is a breeze!

What You Will Need:

• Large vase
• Styrofoam or Decorative Rocks
• Long Floral Pieces or Rods

What You Will Need To Do:

1. Cut styrofoam to fit within the bottom of the vase.
2. Trim floral pieces so they sit at the appropriate height when inserted into the vase.
3. Once at desired height, stick each floral piece into the styrofoam at the bottom of the vase. This may take some rearranging to get the right look.
4. You may need to fluff and separate floral pieces to get a fuller look.

OR

1. Place rocks in the bottom of the large vase. This is VERY noisy, so I tried to tip the vase on its side and slide the rocks down the side of the vase.
2. Insert tall rods into the rocks and to secure in place. This piece will have a bit more “loose-ness” than the previous one.

Done! No more boring corners! Have any other fast and inexpensive ideas for corner pieces? Please share them with us!
