Easily Turn Glass Domes From IKEA Into Your New Favorite Flower Vase

If you like to style vases in your home, you may be looking for some decorative, unique vases that will really make an impact in your space, whether they're filled with flowers or not. However, stylish vases like these can cost quite a bit. Instead, discover how to create your own one-of-a-kind vase out of two glass domes from IKEA. This vase is reversible and has two different-sized sides, so you can use it for both small and large bouquets. This dual feature makes this vase unique and practical. The best part? A quick trip to your local IKEA and some crafting supplies is all that you need to get this project started. You'll need two BEGÅVNING glass domes — one with a 10-inch base and the other with a 7-inch base — as well as a glass adhesive, spray paint, and painter's tape. 

Creating this DIY is both easy and fun, and there are some simple ways to make it your own once the project is complete. First, paint the vase any color you'd like to match your home. For instance, metallic colors like black or gold will give the piece a sleek and modern look. You could also leave the domes unpainted clear glass, but just know that you will likely see the adhesive connecting the two domes. Similarly, you can paint the glass dome bases to match your decor. If you won't use them on a regular basis, consider repurposing the bases as coasters or using them as a base for your unique piece.

Start this project by gluing the sides of the domes together with your adhesive so that one is facing open side down and the other is facing open side up. Then, tape the domes together horizontally with painter's tape to allow the adhesive to properly dry. Once dry, the creator spray paints the vase a blue color and paints the dome's bases two different colors to match the vase. This creator then uses the leftover dome bases as cute table trays and fills the vase with flowers.

While you're at IKEA, consider picking up a third dome to create another floral display that will never die. For this project, dry and style your favorite flowers. Then, take some white clay and form it into a circle. Place this circle on the base of the dome and then arrange the dried flowers so they stick out of the clay. Finally, place the glass dome on top and arrange it next to your unique vase on a table or shelf. Now, in addition to fresh seasonal flowers, you can also display your favorite flowers all year long! You could also combine this idea with your unique vase by placing the clay inside the dome that faces upwards and arranging flowers inside it.
