8 Stylish Dollar Tree Items That Make The Absolute Best Vase Fillers

We can all agree that there are many creative ways to decorate your home with vases. But how can we take their design to the next level? Dollar Tree offers affordable products that many shoppers on a budget enjoy, especially if they want an in-and-out shopping experience without the crowd or fuss of a large department store. The retailer sells hundreds of items, including ones that can be used as vase fillers to add some pizzazz to a room or party venue. You can fill a vase with a lot more than just standard real or faux flowers. Since Dollar Tree has a wide selection to choose from, you have plenty of other options, including accent gems, ornate shells, and stones.

If you're new to using clear vases as table decor, another factor to keep in mind about fillers is that they can be chosen to accommodate any design aesthetic, and there's really no rule that you need to follow, whether you want to use one type of filler or layer multiple on top of each other. If it fits, and you like it, it can be a vase filler. Don't have a clear vase? Dollar Tree sells those, too, in various sizes, so you could purchase your entire vase and filler decor for just a few bucks or more depending on what items you pick up.  

Throwing a baby shower for a loved one and in need of some centerpiece ideas for your home? Or perhaps you're on the decorating team for a friend's wedding reception, and her favorite color is blue. The  Ocean Blue Glass Accent Gems check all the boxes. Mix them with other gems or similar items, or leave them as a monochrome vase filler. Complete the look with flowers, a battery-operated tea light, or nothing at all. The translucent nature and bold blue color are sure to make these gems the focal point of your table decor.

Black matches with everything, so these Black Decorative Accent Polished River Stones pair nicely with a wide range of decor and color schemes. It can even be part of your creepy-cute Halloween decor. Fill the stones to the top of the vase, halfway, or just a few inches from the bottom. Use them to surround a few flowers or a candle, top them off with water, or mix them with other similar Dollar Tree items, such as Clear Glass Gems, to create a custom decoration that's sure to fit right in.

Bring part of the coastline to your home by filling your vase with Assorted Decorative Shells. Each bag features 5.3 ounces of shells, including conch, scallop, and other common types — perfect for a beach-themed event like a bridal shower, birthday party, or baby shower. These shells can also be a great addition to a room with beach house decor. Add to the seashore look by adding sand to the vase first, or simply let the shells sit alone all the way to the top.

If you like the sparkling look of diamonds, you'll love these Floral Garden Diamond Shaped Plastic Vase Fillers. Choose between white or silver pieces, both of which feature diamond shapes that are perfect for elegant table decor. These fillers can be a great addition to centerpieces for a wedding reception, dinner party, quinceañera, or other formal event. Add a few flowers to the diamond-filled vase or layer the white and silver pieces together. The sparkling appearance will certainly get your guests' attention.

The Multi-Tone River Pebbles are the perfect vase filler for anyone who loves being near the river or just wants a touch of the great outdoors with their table decor. Throw in a gold ribbon-wrapped bamboo plant with water — or just water — to add to the nature theme or let the pebbles stand in the vase alone. The earthy tones of tan, gray, brown, black, and white suit a wide range of themes and decor. Each bag provides 32 ounces of pebbles, so if you have a large vase, you may need more than one bag.

Who said ornaments are only for hanging on trees at Christmas time? Spice up your Thanksgiving, harvest, rustic, or Christmas decor by adding these Christmas House Glittery Pinecone Ornaments to your vase centerpiece or side table decor. Each package includes two ornaments of the same color. Choose from gold, red, or brown, or buy all three colors and mix them up. Fill the vase with just the pinecones or add stems to the bottoms to make a beautiful pinecone bouquet for your vase.

Whether you plan to store them for cooking or use them strictly for decorative purposes, Brown's Best Black Kidney Beans make a great vase filler, either alone or layered with other beans. Dollar Tree also sells Brown's Best Pinto Beans, Brown's Best Black Beans, and Brown's Best Northern Beans to mix or layer. You can also have a vase dedicated to each type of bean. The earthy neutral hues match many design schemes, including rustic or even French Country.

They might be called Floral Garden Holiday Glitter Ball Vase Fillers, but these adorable spheres can embellish and add fun to a vase on a mantel or table display at any time of year. Each bag comes with 110 foam ball pieces in your choice of silver and gold, silver and white, or gold and red. Buy one, two, or all three assortments for an extra dazzled look to match your room's theme. Add water to your vase and watch the balls float, or leave them dry and top them off with another filler of your choice.
