Crystal glass vases are a perfect addition to your home. But can you just use them to keep a bunch of fresh flowers? No! The mantra of home decor lies in innovative and out-of-the-box ideas. You may not need too many items to style up your home. Just a few do the trick. Here is a list of five creative ideas for using a crystal glass vase other than the traditional method.
- Use it to hold fruits: Fruit
bowls are commonly used to keep fruits in the kitchen or dining table. How
about you try something different? You can take a long, wide crystal vase
and add your fruits. You can also create a theme with all your favourite
citrus fruits.
- Turn your vase in a succulent holder: Succulents
are low-maintenance plants and can be kept anywhere in the house. If you
have a study, decorate it with succulents in a crystal glass bud vase. Bud
vases are short vases perfect for centrepieces. You can add pebbles and
soil mix and display your cute succulents around the house.
- Keep candies for your guests: Do
not have a fancy bowl? No worries. Reuse your crystal glass vases
to store candies for your guests on the coffee table. For this, you
can use a cylinder vase. It will also add a pop of colour, and your
friends will talk about your out-of-the-box decor ideas for days to come.
This will also make great decor during Halloween parties.
- Make some magic floating candles: Do
regular candles sound boring? Here is an idea to use your crystal vases as
floating candles. Throw in some clear orbeez and fill the vase with water.
Leave some space at the top. The clear orbeez (absorbent beads) will
absorb water, grow into squishy balls and turn invisible in the water. Now
take a floating candle (preferably in white), and place it on the water.
You will have got a DIY floating candle in no time. You can add beads and
pebbles for a dramatic effect.
- Grow a plant: China bamboo does not need soil
but requires plenty of water and a constricted place to grow. Vases are
perfect for them. Add some pebbles and water, and place the bamboo. Keep
it in any corner of the house.
