12 Easy Clear Glass Vase Decoration Ideas

How to decorate a clear glass vase or a glass cylinder vase to make it come to life with color and pattern, some of these clear glass vase decoration ideas can be done in 5 minutes. These vases will look beautiful on a dining table filled with fresh flowers when entertaining or to place a candle inside when decorating a table top or mantel.

If you enjoy decorating your home, I am sure you have at least one or more clear glass vases stored in a cupboard or on the shelves in a storage closet in your home. If so, it’s time to get them out on display to add color and style to any room in your home.

The nice thing about decorating your home with clear glass vases is that they are neutral and go with any color scheme, flower or item you place in them when you use them as is.

Clear glass vases are classic, but don’t overlook their potential that goes beyond simply filling the see-through vases with water and flowers.

Most of these DIY clear glass vase decoration ideas can be easily done and then changed seasonally or for special occasions without any damage to the vase.

Here are 12 easy ways to transform your plain, neglected glass vases into a unique, decorative accessory for your home.

Clear Glass Cylinder Vase Decoration Ideas

Cylinder glass vases come in many different sizes from short to tall and look nice all on their own, but since they have the same shape, consider grouping a few together to create more decorative impact.

1. Add Gift Wrap Inside a Clear Glass Cylinder Vase

The nice thing about transforming a glass vase with pretty gift wrap is that you can coordinate it to your room’s decor or an entertaining theme for a table setting centerpiece.

There is no longer a need to have a closet full of vases when one vase can wear many colors and styles to fit your home decorating needs.

I found this tall clear glass vase at a thrift shop for $2. 00. It has an overall textured dot pattern on it that is pretty. To change the look in minutes to add color and still be able to fill it with water for flowers, DIY it using gift wrap.

You can use any type of decorative paper – gift wrap, leftover wallpaper, maps, scrapbook paper will work.

  1. To cut the paper to the right size to fit inside the vase, wrap the paper around the outside of the vase first so it slightly overlaps. Cut excess. Measure height and cut paper to this height.
  2. Gently roll the cut paper and place inside the vase. Tape the overlapped ends together inside the vase.
  3. Place glass jar or can inside, fill the jar/can with water and flowers.

Since the paper is inside the vase and the water inside the jar, the paper stays nice looking and can last a long time if you don’t want it to be only temporary.

When you tire of one color or pattern of paper, simply change the paper to fit the occasion as I did here using a brown paper bag when we recently had friends over to dine out on the deck.

Simple, fast and affordable decor.

2. Wrap Fabric Around Vase

Make this Fabric Wrapped Glass Vase by simply wrapping fabric around the vase and securing it on the back with a dot of hot glue.

You can also use Mod Podge to attach the fabric. When you tire of it, simply soak the vase in water to remove.

For a more rustic look, wrap burlap around a cylinder vase and secure by tying a few strands of raffia or twine around the vase.

3. Dip the Bottom In Paint

Use Painter’s tape to mask off the top of the vase, then use brush-on or spray paint over the bottom half. Let dry and then carefully remove the tape.

If you would like to see a pattern on the painted section, once the paint is dry, use a stencil to paint a design on the vase using craft paint.

4. Splash on Multi-Colors

A Painted Glass Vase is nothing new, but when you turn things upside down, you can transform a plain glass vase into something that resembles a kiln-fired ceramic vase.

5. Use as a Candle Holder

No flower blooms are needed to fill a cylinder vase, when a pillar style candle looks just as nice.

If you have small items like acorns, beans, dried berries, beads or buttons, you can use these as fillers in the base of the vase. Then place a candle or flower arrangements inside.

6. Fill With Ornaments or Fruit

Creative vase filler ideas like placing faux snow in the bottom of the vase and filling with ornaments makes a festive holiday statement out of a simple clear glass vase. For the summer season, fill the vase with lemons or limes for a fresh shot of color.

7. Wrap It in Tape

Decorative craft tapes, even duct tape comes in many colors and patterns that can transform a plain glass vase into something fabulous. This Metallic Taped Vase adds just the right accent when hosting a party.

Recycle Glass Bottles Into Decorative Vases

Glass vases don’t have to be store bought. Head to your recycling bin to find clear glass bottles in interesting shapes to use as flower vases.

8. Display Lots of Smaller Vases

Create a collection for a curated look by displaying different shapes and sizes of pretty Clear Glass Bottles Repurposed into Vases along a mantel or window sill.

9. Repurpose Large Pickle Jars

Copycat chic alert! Find out how easy it is to get a “Paint Dipped Vase” for less. No need to buy high end decorating catalog dipped vases when you can easily do this budget decorating project by transforming large glass pickle jars bought at Walmart to make them look “dipped” in paint.

10. Wine Bottles

When you want to display tall flower stems or branches, clear wine bottles work very well since the opening is narrow and holds up the stems rather nicely.

Different Size Glass Vases

Having only one size vase probably won’t fit all your decorating needs, so when out and about at thrift stores, search to find different styles inexpensively.

11. Use Only a Single Branch

For floral arrangement on a tabletop, place a single stem or branch with colorful fall leaves or greenery in a thrift store glass vase to make a simple, yet bold statement.

12. Glue On Cording

Transform any clear glass vase to make this Rustically Wrapped Vase by wrapping cord, string or ribbon around the bottom half of the glass vase using hot glue.

Where to Buy Clear Glass Vases

If you like these clear glass vase decoration ideas and don’t have any, you can find them inexpensively at thrift stores or purchase brand new ones at stores like HomeGoods.

Fruits, coffee beans, birch twigs: 14 ideas for original vase filling - unusual decor made from ordinary things

It doesn't matter if you are planning a small celebration, a big celebration or serious work to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in your home, the approach to choosing decor should be exclusively individual. An ordinary glass vase with flowers (or even without flowers) can become your design feature in the interior if you replace the water in it with the original filler. Simple, budget-friendly and effective vase interior decor ideas - 14 ideas for inspiration.

Branches and driftwood, cones, acorns: nature will provide both inspiration and decoration materials.

Peas and beans, cereals, coarse sea or ordinary table salt, coffee beans - look for your original filler in the color of the season, interior or mood.

Balls with threads, yarn, twine, handmade pompoms, multi-colored buttons - another simple and budget option for filler.

Add sea freshness to your interior with shells, pebbles, sand, corals in a glass vase.

Cozy candlesticks in glass vases - beautiful, safe, romantic. Instead of vases, you can use tall glasses or goblets. As an additional decor, small pebbles, shells, beads, salt, cereals and more are suitable.

Bright filler for a vase in a child's room or a teenager's room - sweets, their toy imitation. As well as the toys themselves: details of dominoes and other board games, colored letters, balls, and more.

The ideal option is citruses: limes, lemons, tangerines, arranged in layers, randomly or in a special order. A warm and positive decoration for a winter kitchen or living room, when colors are especially lacking.

Multifunctional filler: for aesthetics and simultaneous drying of flowers that you want to keep voluminous and lush.

Editor's note:

— Original fillings in glass vases can be combined with branches, flowers — natural or artificial, or you can do without flowers at all. A vase with an unusual filling becomes a beautiful decor in itself.

Germinated "cat" cereals have long been used as lively green decor or glass vase filling. Do not forget about stabilized moss - an inexpensive, environmentally friendly, versatile and spectacular decor option.

Idea for seasonal decor. By Christmas, a vase can be filled with slices of dried oranges and cinnamon sticks or Christmas balls, by Valentine's Day - with hearts, at Easter - with decorative eggs, in autumn - with leaves or berries.

Beads and beads, glass stones for decoration, acrylic ice: fillings can be used dry, or you can decorate a vase for fresh flowers (with water) with them.

Garland lights can fill not only a vase, but also an ordinary glass jar, decorating its neck, for example, with twine.

An open florarium or a closed ecosystem in a bottle is an original living decor and a useful thing for the overall development of children.

The idea is not new, but it does not lose its relevance. Tall floor and table vases filled with wine bottle corks no longer surprise anyone today. And you don’t have to drink liters of wine to create such a decor - you can buy corks in bags through bulletin boards and in art stores.
