Add Pizzazz with a Clear Glass Vase or Bowl

Because of its simplicity, a glass vase or bowl can provide numerous new decorating opportunities. Switching out what the piece holds gives it new life and puts other things you already have on-hand to another use. Of course, the size and shape of the container often dictate what looks best in it, so play around with it!

Try filling larger vessels with:
-Christmas balls - different colors or all the same (a more sophisticated look). Spice it up by attaching curled ribbons to a few.
-Faux fruit (lemons and limes work well in summer; try pears in the fall)
-Colorful fall leaves

Smaller pieces are great for:
-Layers of various types of nuts
-Cranberries (whether to fill about 1/3 of the container, or with a few floating in water with a floating candle)
-Various styles and colors of buttons
