How to Decorate a Tulip Vase

Tulips add a bright springtime touch to any room, especially when you want some extra color and verve. However, a dull vase can take away from the flowers' appeal, so creative vase decor is essential to ensuring you have a well-rounded table centerpiece or shelf decor. With a few craft items and a little patience, you can give your lovely tulips the container they deserve. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

Steps

1

Paint a delicate design onto the face, bottom or top of the vase, keeping in mind that a minimalistic touch will best complement the shiny objects you will affix later. Consider green grass for the bottom, blue clouds for the top, or brightly colored wisps of curly-ques across the middle of the vase.

2

Apply glue along the top of the vase near the rim no thicker than the circumference of the rhinestones.

3

Affix rhinestones on top of the glue to bedazzle the spout from which the tulips will emerge.

4

Select one rhinestone to stand out from the rest, and glue it on the face of the vase to enhance the design you painted.

5

Cut the ribbon to the same length as the bottom circumference of the vase.

6

Glue the ribbon along the bottom to give the illusion of grass.

7

Allow paint and glue to dry overnight.

8

Pour no more than two inches of marbles into the bottom of the vase.

9

Place tulips inside the vase carefully one by one. Add enough water to submerge the marbles to keep your tulips fresh and healthy.
