Innovative flower vase painting ideas

This is one of my favorite flower vase ideas. Isn’t it pretty? For this look, you will need two cylindrical vases: one slightly smaller than the other. Fit the smaller vase inside of the larger one. You will need just enough space to slide lemon slices between the two vases. Fill the vase with water and arrange your flowers. I love the yellow of the lemons mixed with the different shades of pink. I also added in a few branches of whole lemons.


Try This: Paint Your Own Pattern on Pattern Floral Vase

Lately, I have been introducing a bit of maximalism into a few of my decor pieces. There is something about patterns on patterns on patterns that gets my creative side all excited. One of my favorite patterns to play around with is florals. So I created this DIY floral painted flower vase to really play up that floral on floral action. The vase came together pretty quickly and now I have a fun patterned piece that really pops on my shelves.

What do you all think about the pattern on pattern action of the vase? Too many florals? I love the over the top combo and think the vase will go perfectly in my colorful and patterned bathroom. You can never have too many patterns, in my opinion! xoxo. Kara





1. Old wooden tool caddy

For example, an old wooden tool caddy makes for a perfect flower container.

I love this rustic box’s vibe when paired with the beautiful spring blooms. Fill your ordinary drinking glasses with water and arrange your flowers. This flower arrangement is perfect for your Easter table or a picnic outside. I also love the idea of using a metal toolbox for Father’s Day.

2. Using a head of cabbage

Easter is the perfect time to use some fruits or vegetables in your arrangements.

Using a head of cabbage, cut out a hole in the center, large enough to hold a drinking glass. Fill the glass with water and arrange your flowers. I tucked a bit of green moss around the top of the glass for some added texture. You can also incorporate baby cabbage into the arrangement for some extra drama.

3. Clear glass cylinder with carrots

Clear glass cylinder vases are a dime a dozen. You probably have a few of them hanging around in your closet. If not, they are easy to find; you can even pick one up at the Dollar Tree.

Kale Flower vase

For this arrangement, I tied kale, carrots, and beets around the vase. This is such a fun Idea for Easter and looks so festive on the table. Note that I left the greens on the carrots and the beets.
