Find Unique Vases at Floral & Hearty!

Has the pump on your bathroom soap dispenser ever developed rust? Other than soaking it in WD40 and scrubbing it with a metal scourer on a daily basis, there’s really no saving the poor little pump. But that doesn’t mean you should discard the container, too. Instead of sending it to soap dispenser graveyard, why not repurpose it as an unusual vase for your silk flower arrangement?

A bunch of short-stemmed artificial peonies brought into a tight bouquet would look both delicate and delightful in the small receptacle. Or a few long-stemmed silk gerbera daisies could provide a modern edge to your bathroom.

Here are some more unique vase ideas for your faux flowers…

Pitchers. Use your favorite glass or china pitcher to display a big bunch of artificial shrubs or tall blades of silk grass.

Bottles. Interesting wine or water bottles come in beautiful colors and shapes these days. These also look great in clusters if you have a collection of them.

Jam jars. The next time you reach for one of these at your local supermarket, take a look at the jar itself and imagine it clean and empty. Remember that the money you spend will be doing double duty later on.

A fishbowl (minus the fish!). You can even add some colorful touches such as artificial fruit to the bowl to create an eye-catching silk floral centerpiece.

Condiment bottles. Olive oil/ balsamic vinegar bottles will look extra edgy if you keep them in their carry case.

Old perfume bottles. Not only will these look divine, they also hold their scent so that the silk flowers will smell good, too.

But don’t stop there! The possibilities are endless and unlike vases for fresh flowers, they don’t need to hold water. Whatever receptacle you choose for your silk floral arrangement, have fun with it.
