How To Decorate This Vase

Question

I have this 6' x 6' heavy glass vase that I decorated with a cute orange sequined owl mask for Halloween. One night I put a tealight in it; the next it held candycorn; multiple uses....
I want to continue using this vase through the holidays and seasons, but need simple, easy, inexpensive ideas for decorating it (like the mask). You guys are so talented and so generous with your ideas and help, I can't wait to see what you come up with!! Thanks.

Well, it already has the owl mask from Halloween @Diane Navarro Tippetts. What would you do differently?

Tie candy canes to the outside with string or twine put a bow and put your Christmas candy or party favors or a poinsettia in it.

I have a pretty crystal vase that I fill with little glass ornaments. It's very pretty when the light hits it.

My Granddaughter just showed me a great idea on youtube. Cut any shape - I am going to cut out snowflakes so they can be used throughout Winter, not just for Christmas - out of paper that has a sticky side. Shelf liner paper will work or I will use vinyl using my Silhouette cutting machine. Adhere the sticky side to the inside of your vase. Be sure to press firmly. Use spray adhesive and spray inside thoroughly. Add any color of glitter you like. Shake around to cover entire vase and pour out excess. When dry, peel off your stickers. Add glass gems to bottom of your vase and a battery-operated tea light. They turn out really pretty. I am thinking about adding the sticky cut outs on the outside and then painting with Mod Podge and paint on the outside. Either way will work nicely. Then you can see your light through the opening left by your stickers.

Try window glass frost film cut shapes and wet to slide on your design easily washes off when you want a change

I like to layer different candies to create a pretty effect. For example red hots on bottom, then green gum balls, and then maybe silver kisses. Then you can put a pretty, yet small sparkly branch foliage.

for thankgiving get some gold, brown, yellow, and red glass gems at a craft store also pick up some pheasant feathers and find some acorns oops also get a small block of florist foam stick the feathers into the florist foam (after cutting to size to fit into you vase with a inch available at the side then pour in the gems and top with acorns, for Christmas the opportunities abound use the candy cane trick as mentioned above or small glass orniments, small pine cones you could even set it on a paper doily and glue the pine cones to the doily with some florist pine and fake berries then fill with candies or what ever for the holidays, for new years you could layer black sand and silver glitter and pop in some black and silver sparklers you can get at a craft store then put in a couple of flameless tea lights to sparkle every up. if you like any of these message me if you want some more I seem to be taking up a lot of space lol

Thank you for the suggestions but many of these don't answer my question because what I am really looking for are ways to decorate the OUTSIDE of the vase in an inexpensive and easy manner that I can change regularly. I love the candy cane idea for Christmas. Thank you to every for your suggestions.

Rosi, if you find another glass vase/candle just a little smaller than this one to put inside, that gives you the opportunity to fill the space in between the vases. I have a hurricane lamp I use like this and put candy hearts for valentines day, acorns in the fall, cranberries at Christmas, etc.
