Turn Dollar Tree Cutting Boards Into A Country Chic Vase For Faux Flowers

We love a versatile Dollar Tree item, and their small bamboo cutting boards are an endless source of DIY inspiration. We've seen crafters transform these boards into everything from a magnetic notepad to a hanging shelf to a countertop phone holder, and now this country chic vase is a must-try! By connecting two cutting boards with some wood trim, you'll have a gorgeous farmhouse vase you can dress up and fill with your favorite faux flowers to brighten any space.

There are two main reasons these Dollar Tree Bamboo Cutting Boards make such great crafting materials (so much so that they are arguably better suited for crafts than for actual cutting boards!): their size and quality. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful piece of smooth, finished wood at 8.6 by 5.8 inches for the same price anywhere else. Their durability and rounded corners make them the perfect starting point for your next DIY project.

This DIY is a simple and straightforward wooden project with no nails required. Everything can be glued together using wood glue or strong super glue. All you'll need is two small cutting boards from Dollar Tree and a few pieces of wood trim. Cut the trim pieces to create the sides and bottom of the vase, glue them together, and then glue the cutting boards to either side of the trim frame. After gluing, quickly stand up your vase to ensure the cutting boards are level, and then lay it back on its side to dry.

YouTuber Creative On The Cheap uses lace to dress up her wooden vase, and there are so many ways to make this project your own. Of course, you can paint or stain the wood, and add extra character by using a distressed painting hack to give the vase an aged and vintage look. Or, while you're at Dollar Tree, look through their removable wall decals. If you see one you like, you can stick it on your cutting board vase for a unique look that you can change out with the seasons, or whenever the mood strikes!

This vase makes an adorable holder for faux flowers, but with a simple modification, your wooden vase can hold real flowers as well. Instead of using the wood trim pieces YouTuber Creative On The Cheap uses to connect the cutting boards, grab the Tumbling Tower Game from Dollar Tree and use the blocks. By stacking the blocks on top of each other, you can adjust the width of the vase to fit a plastic container inside that will hold water. These Square Plastic Vases from Dollar Tree are 7 inches tall by 4 inches wide, so you can hide one in your wooden vase and add a fresh flower bouquet.

DIY vases make for gorgeous decor items that can be used throughout your home. You can also upgrade Dollar Tree's glass vases for a rustic look on a budget. Now the only thing holding you back is a quick trip to the florist.
