Upgrade Your Boring Vase With a Tattoo

I have a bunch of vases that I received with flower arrangements (my hubby likes to give them to me on special occasions). They are pretty cheap, and I don’t often use them; they just sit on top of my breakfront collecting dust. This great décor idea spruces up the vases for just a few pennies and gives them a whole new life using temporary tattoos. I know, right? Temporary tattoos? Trust me on this, they look great! And it's also a great way to decorate for a party or holiday. The best part is when you get tired of them, you can simply clean them off with rubbing alcohol.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Here are some of my vases that need a little bit of style.
You will need an old vase, dollar store temporary tattoos, and a damp sponge (not pictured).
Following the directions on the temporary tattoo, I pressed the tattoo on the vase with a damp sponge (you can also use a cloth or paper towel). Remember to keep it damp but not wet.
Peel the damp paper off, and you're left with a gorgeous design on your vase. It's that simple. Feel free to add as many as you want to your vase.
This one I did in a spring theme.
This one was definitely more whimsical. I think I'm going to put some cookie cutters and other baking utensils in this one.
This one is my favorite, but that's because I'm a sucker for metallic. Don't they look so edgy?
I honestly love this adorable decor idea.
You can even add these to small glasses and fill them with party favors.
Look how well it matches my décor now.
