Clear Glass Vase

Clear glass vases can be used to achieve great effects by many techniques. What’s nice about a clear glass vase is that you can decorate not only with the vase itself, but with what you put in the vase, or by decorating the outside of the vase as well. Obviously we cannot do these techniques with ceramic vases, wood vases, or painted vases.

A clear glass vase can make very good centerpieces as well, and can be decorated easily to match it’s surroundings and event it’s being used for. You can use decorated clear glass vases for dinner table, weddings, and banquets. Any shape will work like a cylinder clear glass vase, square clear glass vase, or a large clear glass floor vase.

Putting objects in clear glass vases is a great way to make it pop out. There’s no rule to it, you can use just about anything you would like to, at least that will fit in the vase. Try putting in marbles, sea shells, leaves, pictures, sticks, pine cones, colored water, ribbon, buttons,lemons, or river stones. These are just a few ideas. Whatever your mind can conceive of give it a try.

Another really fun technique is to paint clear glass vases. You can use different kinds of paint for different effects. But you will want to prepare the glass for painting as it can e a bit tricky at times. Make sure the glass is well cleaned and you have removed all the oil from it with rubbing alcohol. After your done painting your design and it has dried add a coat of shellac. You can paint the whole outside for a funky look, or just paint the inside. Paint some strips or dots to give it some dimension, or go Jackson Pollack with it and really have some fun by making splashes, drizzles, and drips. It’s really up to you, however if painting you might want to have a clear idea of the finished product as your permanently altering it.

Using decorating tape adds really cool effects to clear glass vases as well. Decorating tape is a masking tape with printed designs or just solid colors on it. These can be cut up to desired width’s and lengths to stick on glass without the mess of paint. Really cool designs can be made to.

Clear glass vases are also really good at presenting beautiful floral arrangements, and dried flowers or sticks like pussy willows, or plants with a nice root system that you would like to show off.
