Combination of vases and mini lights for spectacular results

Vases are one of those vessels that don’t get used every day, but just beg to be used for some purpose when they don’t hold flowers. Glass and crystal vases are perfect containers for creating new and interesting centerpieces or as accessories in a room.

Combine vases with lights and you instantly have an eye-catching display! How can you transform your ordinary vases into something extraordinary? Try some of these decorating ideas and you’ll have your friends and family chattering about how clever you are at decorating.

Ideas for Vases with Mini Lights

Fill an inexpensive vase (find one at the dollar store) with decorations and lights. Start by placing some Christmas decorations in the bottom of the vase. Alternatively, push a string of lights into the vase and continue to fill the vase with lights and decorations so that the lights illuminate the bulbs.

This is a perfect centerpiece idea for any Christmas table. Or use it to spruce up a lonely corner of a dresser, dresser, or countertop. Group together a few vases with lights for an interesting accent. Make it even more aesthetically pleasing by varying the sizes and shapes of the vases.

(Be sure not to leave your vase projects unattended or on overnight. Traditional mini lights get hot, so protect delicate wood surfaces.)

Vases on the fireplace – Rainy summer nights can seem boring at times, so why not make them a bit more cheery with lights? The fireplace is probably empty and looking a bit cold now that winter is over, so let’s fill it with some vases and lights to make it more attractive.

Push strings of your favorite colors of lights into glass or crystal vases until the vase is full. Do this with various sizes of vases. Fill your fireplace opening with the vases filled with lights. Plug them into a multi-gang extension core and voila – instant charm and ambiance in your space! This is an easy solution to enhance and beautify that gaping hole during the spring and summer months.

Accessories – Battery-powered white lights are perfect for filling vases and creating unique accessories for any room in the house. Place the battery pack in glass beads at the bottom of the vase and allow the string of lights to fill the vase randomly. You can easily access your mantel, a bookcase, bathroom sink, foyer or bedroom with these beauties. The new micro dot LED battery lights last up to 100 hours per set of batteries.

fill it up and light it up – Similar to the Christmas ornament idea, you can fill the vase with just about anything that looks pretty along with the lights inside. Glass beads, beach shells, river rocks, small toys, jewelry, rattles, artificial flower petals, spools of thread, or any other small items that match or complement the décor of the room in which the vase will be placed. . (Again, keep good safety precautions in mind when using different materials considering that incandescent mini lights get hot. Don’t leave lights on overnight, unattended, and protect delicate surfaces like wood.)

Consider using colored glass vases as well for a new and unique touch when adding color to a room. A red vase with red or white Christmas lights would be very pretty during Valentine’s Day or Christmas. A green vase with green or white lights would brighten up any green-decorated powder room or bedroom. Thrill your daughter with a frosted vase filled with purple lights for her bedroom. There really is no limit to what you can do with vases and lights!
