Unusaul Japanese Vinyl Vase

Unusaul Japanese Vinyl Vase

Great ideas can come from out of the most unexpected of places sometimes.

I just read a great article on these new portable Japanese unusual flower vases. The gist of the idea is that in a country as populated as japan their is a ever present problem of storing your things. You see in Japan each person is very limited to space and storage. It is a constant problem dealt with everyday. Henceforth vinyl fold-able, portable, stylish, flower vase made of vinyl.

The flower vases themselves are made in several stylish patterns and actually resemble glass, when not in use they can be folded up and stored using the least amount of space possible.

The idea came from Ryosuke Uehara and Yoshie Watanabe, when they were working on a shampoo packaging label for work, one Mr. Uehara left the vinyl out overnight and when he came back to it in the morning his wife had put a flower in it thinking it was a vase, this gave Mr. Uehara the great idea and viola the magical, portable, store-able, Japan flower vases.

I always love it when I hear of these, just happened upon ideas, or when someone is able to see something through a different light that the rest of us would not think of. It’s like one of those IQ pictures you know the one with the vase or it could also be a silhouette of two faces.

Anyways, these are really nifty flower bud vases that can be used for just about anything, take them on a picnic, use them outside, or just use them how you regularly would. The nice thing is they do not look shoddy and they will also not break.

Now go check out some cool vases at Amazon Vase Deals and Bellacor and search their vase section.

How to Decorate With Flowers In Vase

Hydrangea with Black Vase Silk Flower ArrangementThere are many ways to decorate your vase, but by far the most popular is with flowers. Flowers in a vase add a natural and elegant ambiance to the space you are decorating. They are great for centerpieces, especially weddings, and add that extra touch you might be looking for. Any vase can look great with flowers, whether it’s large floor vases, hand blown glass vase, or antique vases, the sky’s the limit. So how do you go about arranging flowers in a vase? Well it really is up to your individual tastes but there are a couple of things you should think about to achieve the best impact.

1. You should figure out what type of flower you want to have in the vase, rose’s are always fantastic, but there are so many other beautiful and exotic flowers out there that look great in a vase. Carnations, ranunculus, and anemones are always fun, and just a few of the myriad of flowers you can use.

2. When you have found the perfect flowers for your vase you will want to make sure they last as long as possible. Make sure to trim any thorns off. Also remove leaves from the stem that will be submerged in water, this will add quite a bit to the life of the flower. If you have bought the flowers pre-cut always re-cut the stems, removing 1 to 2 inches at an angle under water. You can do this in a basin full of water, or even by holding the stem and the blades of the shears (or kitchen scissors) under running tap water.

3. Always make sure it is well cleaned before placing the flowers in vase.

4. Different types of vases look better with different types of flowers. For round vases it nice to have the flowers make a full and rounded affect, roses and carnations are great for this, any flower with a broad head will work. For straighter extra tall vases I like to have long, thin, and straight flowers like lilies. For bowl vases large flowers that have a open bloom such as a peony or gardenias look amazing.

5. Why stop at flowers, add some greenery or baby’s breathe to your arrangement for that extra added touch.

Whatever flower you decide to decorate with there are many places to find discount glass vases to experiment with. Some of my favorite places to find decently priced vases are flower vases or Bellacor.

Glass Flower Vases

Glass Flower Vase

Glass Flower Vase

Glass flower vases are great for special occasions. They are commonly used for weddings, graduations, and business banquets as centerpieces. They add a certain personality and elegance to the event, and can be purchased for very little. Some of my favorite places to find glass flower vases on the cheap are Marshall’s, TJ Max, thrift stores, antique stores, and online at Amazon. If you have a wedding coming up or are in charge of your company’s event planning it might be a good idea to stock up on some glass flower vases.

Vases come in all sorts of forms, shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be clear, have ornate designs, and funky designs. But they all have five distinctive parts to them.

1. The bottom or base of the vase is referred to as the foot. The foot of a vase can be carinate which means the shape is defined by the joining of a rounded base to the sides of an inward sloping vessel, flat, or have a bulbous nature to it.

2. The body of a vase is usually the largest part of the vase and is considered the main part of glass flower vases.

3. The top of the body will have a curve inward which brings us to the shoulder of the vase.

4. From here we have the neck of the vase which gives it more height and elegance.

5. At the very top of the vase is a flare outwards this is referred to as the lip of the vase.

I would usually recommend to use the same model of glass flower vases for a centerpiece at your event just for symmetry purposes, however it’s really up to you. You could use two different models and set them every other table, or just get a bunch of different ones and go at it.

As far as what to put in them, it really depends on your taste, what the tables will look like (what color tablecloth’s/napkins), the season, and what the glass flower vases will hold. If you want to put in a large bouquet then obviously you will want a vase large enough for it to occupy. Flowers are really nice, but to add some flavor you might want to put in some stones at the base, and mix in some branches, pussy willows always look excellent.
