Easy spring flower vase for gift giving or spring home decor…
Our local supermarket’s floral department has such an amazing selection of spring floral arrangements in beautiful vases & containers. Unfortunately, the price tags can be pretty high. BUT, that’s ok, because we can create your own “frugal-elegant” version of theirs. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a super creative or crafty person either.. it’s so easy.
We start with picking out a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Since we are making our arrangement in a small jar, we have to cut the stems shorter. Our jar is simple & plain. The Dollar Tree has a nice selection of vase & glass jar options. Amazon also has some great choices too. And the least expensive option – reuse an old pickle or food jar. You really don’t need anything fancy or decorative because the ribbon & flowers will be the main focus of the arrangement.
Cut the burlap ribbon to fit the vase..
Next we secure a burlap ribbon with a few small dabs of glue from the glue gun.
Finish with a thinner, more decorative ribbon. Look how beautiful. This was created to give as a get well gift for a friend. It’s more special than the store bought arrangements because it’s made with love!!

Beautiful!! I have that same vase but never would have to thought to dress it up like that, I love the burlap!! Perfect for bring the Spring beauty indoors!
Thank you Krista! Simple & easy are the ways to go- adds such a nice touch 😉
I’m terrible at arranging flowers but I think I can handle this! & I agree, Dollar Tree is a great place to shop for glass pieces.
Yes you can Melissa. Hope you will give it a try. Great ideas when you walk through the flower dept at the grocery store. Ribbons, bows, they do it up yet very simple & elegant. But their prices are so high so we would rather do it ourselves 😉
Our Spring has looked a lot like Winter this year, but now it is finally warming up. This is so cool!
Cute little DIY project. Love when you can do things so quick and easy…and it makes such a difference in the decor.

It’s amazing what a difference just a couple bits of cloth can make. I love how the homespun burlap contrasts with the brightness of the flowers. Very pretty!
