How to Reuse Glass Vases- Create Works of Art to Compliment Any Decor or Occasion

First, let's start off with vase filler ideas. Moss is a popular choice when used with plants or flowers but it also makes a great decoration when used alone. There are various colors of moss and other filler material available. So many kinds of filler can be perfect for adding items that need help to stand erect. i.e. styrofoam. Consider using any filler with one or more colors at once or evenly layer the colors. You can even just fill a few vases of different sizes and shapes with layers of filler and sporadically place them throughout a room. Besides moss, other fillers work well for solo focal art or with other items inside the vase. Contemplate materials such as:

• Yarn


• Marbles


• Sea Shells


• Feathers


• Buttons


• Dried Flowers


• Dried Herbs


• "Easter Egg" Grass


• Plastic Ice Cubes


• Cotton or cotton balls


• Seeds or Dried Beans


• Coins


• Foil

Adding real or artificial fruit is a great way to add a burst of fresh color to a kitchen. Depending on your color scheme (if you have one,) try using matching colored fruits or different shades of the color scheme. For example, if your kitchen follows a green or yellow décor, go with springtime fruits. If you want to use fresh fruit, lemons, limes or green apples are all good choices because they don't need to be refrigerated. Layer or mix up different colored fruits and place them in a wide-mouthed vase. You can also use one fruit type for a more simple, modern look.

Tall peacock or ostrich feathers placed in a cylinder shaped vase can be used to for several types of decor. Whatever your style, you have the option of choosing bright colored or neutral feathers. Balance is key. Use feathers of varying widths and heights to create the look of a floral arrangement.
