Instead of spending a ton of cash on a fancy vase, why not make your own using cheap stuff from the Dollar Tree? All you need for this awesome DIY are two hexagonal mirrors, some white floral foam, and a bit of mirror adhesive. Put it all together and you’ve got a super glam vase that looks way more expensive than it really is. The mirrored sides will catch the light beautifully, making it a real showstopper in your home. And the best part? No one will ever guess it only cost you a few bucks! To make this vase, you’ll use the foam to connect the mirrors and create a narrow, tall structure. Just cut small foam pieces and glue them to the mirror edges with hot glue. Then cover up the foam with the mirror adhesive so it’s nice and smooth. Since this isn’t meant to hold water, it’s perfect for fake flowers. You can change up the florals whenever you want, like switching them out for the seasons or to match your mood. And the mirror vase doesn’t just look good with flowers – it’s super versatile! You can put it on a shelf by your front door so you can check your hair and makeup before heading out. Or set it by a window to help brighten up the space by reflecting the light. No matter where you put it or how you style it, this DIY vase is an easy way to add some personality and elegance to your home without breaking the bank.

How to DIY a vase with mirrors
To make this DIY vase, you’ll need a few things from the Dollar Tree – two hexagonal mirrors (they come in white or black) and a piece of white floral foam. Use a serrated knife or utility blade to cut the foam into smaller strips. You’ll also want to grab some mirror adhesive, like the kind used for disco balls, to cover the sides and hide the foam. It’s a pretty affordable option, usually around $7 at stores like Walmart.

To put it all together, cut five long, thin strips of the foam and glue them to the edges of the mirrors using hot glue. Leave one edge open for the vase opening. Don’t worry about making the foam pieces perfect – as long as the overall structure is sturdy, any gaps will be hidden by the mirror adhesive. Once the foam is in place, just cover those five edges with the mirror tiles and you’re done! Set the vase down with the open edge facing up, then fill it with some faux flowers.
If you like the shape but not the mirrored look, you can always paint the mirrors instead. Try using colored window paint for a fun, personalized touch, or go with black paint to write a word or message on the vase.
