    Besides flowers?

    Anything? I have 2 white vases with that fake grass stuff in them. One in my bathroom, one on the mantel. Both I made fabric flowers for, but I don't love it. I have a baby, so taking the time out to keep fresh flowers just won't happen right now. Anybody have any creative ideas for what I can do with them? You bees always have the best solutions!

    My mom keeps a vase in the bathroom that has glossy/painted rocks and pussy willows (fake) in it - looks really nice and there's no upkeep!

    I should probably clarify. The bathroom is more of a kids bathroom. Not that it can't have fake flowers in there, but if there are any more playful ideas, I'd love to hear those too!

    I have a vase filled with that potpourri that people leave on open plates...agh I don't know the name, and I can't find a picture!  I bought a mix with pinecones and different "balls" in it and they smell nice.  If that made ANY sense.

    @mannarose630: That would be super cute! No theme, just very colorful. And she's 2 1/2 months, so it would just be a mommy project for now :)

    Not sure how big your vase is but even this looks way adorable - just one giant pinwheel. :) I've also seen fake flowers made with buttons, paper plates, cotton balls -- anything that makes it look like a kid craft will be really cute. Yay for mommy projects!! (In allll your free time with a toddler I'm sure lol :P )

    lots of things you could do! I find that with a little spray paint, you can turn almost anything into a kid-type item.

    What about collection branches from outside then spray painting them the color in your bathroom?

    Or: spray painted pine cones

    vase full of buttons

    vase full of alphabet letters

    vase of scrabble pieces

    broken crayons

    Acorns..

     

    the options are endless! 

    Do a simple search on pinterest, there are so many great ideas!
