7 Creative Ways to Use Old Vases
I have a cabinet above my refrigerator and in that cabinet is a collection of old vases.
I've gotten flowers over the years I guess, flowers that I don't even remember, but I still have the vases. I don't want to throw them away. They are perfect for turning into something else! In looking online for some great ideas, I found some unique uses for old vases. One of my favorites were these spray painted bookends. If your vases need a little weight for this use, simply add pebbles to the bottom and you're good to go. Do you want more inspiration for ways to utilize those old vases? Check out more ideas below:
