5 of the easiest ways to elevate your Dollar Store vases
Today I am showing you five easy DIY’s that will elevate those boring glass vases we all collect over time. I’ve taken five vases and created five different looks that are incredibly easy to DIY.
Let’s get started!
Scandi Style DIY Vase

Scandinavian Style Vase
You will need:
Saw to trim dowels to size
Glass Vase-
Step 1- Cut your dowels to the length of your vase.
Step 2- Glue dowels all the way around the vase. This is why I like a dual control hot glue gun. I use the lower temp to prevent burning my fingerprints off.
Step 3- Remove any Hot Glue strings that may be hanging.
Step 4- Add flowers, enjoy.
Tip- Keep your dowels as straight as you can as you go, or they will slant, and the last piece won’t fit. All of the options I am showing today will need to be hand-washed, not a big deal for me, just letting you know.

Coastal Style Vase:
You will need:
Glass Vase
Step 1- Wrap the Vase with rope to determine how much you will need to cover it.
Step 2- Begin at the bottom of the vase, gluing your way around and up. As you go along, make sure the rope is snug without being tight. This will prevent the glass from showing through.
Step 3- Cover both ends of the rope with hot glue, so they do not unravel.
Step 4- Use your scissors to trim off and tidy up any excess rope.
Step 4- Add flowers and stand back and enjoy!
Tip: The vases I am using are from the Dollar Store and cost $1.00 each. They are leftover from my oldest daughter’s wedding we hosted in our backyard. If you’d like, you can see that here.
