DIY Color Block Vase

We are loving that the color block trend is back from several years ago because it adds an instant pop of color to a space without going overboard, and adds a touch of the modern vibe without being too stuffy. Making a color block vase is seriously so easy that you hardly need a tutorial but since we love to gab, of course we’ll share all the juicy DIY details! We spied this darling idea from our über talented friend Allie of PrvrbsThirtyOneGirl, check out her version. And psst! There are 19 more gorgeous vases at the end of this post with the most spectacular arrangements by our very talented blog buddies!

supplies to make a Color Block Vase

Of course we hit up the thrift store before retail and I was in luck; I found a near duplicate vase for $6 of my inspiration picture from Current Home NY that goes for $155. Annie Selke, Pottery Barn, and Serena + Lily all sell the exact same vase for cheaper but still between $90-140! That’s madness, folks!!! Here’s what you’ll need to make your own color block vase:

how to make a Color Block Vase

It seems pretty self explanatory if you’re looking at the supplies picture but here’s how to make this cutie just in case you want the full scoop! 😉

  1. Wash your vase in warm soapy water to ensure the painters tape/spray paint has nothing to prevent it from sticking to the vase.
  2. Wrap tape around the middle of the vase, work your way down until the entire bottom half is covered.
  3. I missed this picture but stuff your vase with newspapers or grocery sacks to ensure the overspray doesn’t get ti the bottom of the vase.
  4. Shake spray paint and spray 2 light coats, (or until paint is no longer transparent on the glass). Let completely dry.
  5. Remove tape and voila! Enjoy your new color block vase!

how to arrange greenery in your new color block vase

Now that your vase is done, time to fill it up with pretties! I made a stop by Trader Joe’s grocery store and paired a variety of fresh rose and wildflower stems with faux eucalyptus stems. I found a few purple (faux) sprigs leftover from this wreath and stuck them in as well since they coordinated with my peony colored pray paint!So easy you hardly need the tutorial to make this Color Block Vase that adds a fun pop of color to ANY space! #diy #colorblock #colorblockvase #modernvase #modernfarmhouse #vasediy #diyhomedecor #springfloralarrangement #floralarrangement

I wish peonies were in season here but alas, a more wild arrangement is what I settled on and I kind of love it! To arrange greenery in your vase, simply put the tallest/largest stems in first then fill in with shorter/smaller stems and tuck here or there until you’re happy with how it looks. 🙂
