What to put in vases?

Question

I have got 3 gorgeous square vases. Tall, med and small. I just dont know what to put in them. I would like to avoide the whole, just flowers. I already have a couple with shells and sand in them. And another with water and a rose. Any other ideas of what I can put in these vases?

Answer 1

Walmart and places like michaels or fabric stores usually sell all different sized bamboo sticks...you could leave them natural color or paint them to match your decor! They look really nice.

Another alternative that looks cool is to gather branches from outside and paint them...you can cut them down to different sizes too so they vary when displayed in your vases

Answer 2

What about a few different layers of different shades of sand. Long grasses?

Answer 3

Put 3 stems of lucky bamboo, add decorative rocks and water in one vase.  On the one that has sand and shells, you could add a bunch of curly tingting and the other one you could add a scented votive candle. See sample of lucky bamboo in a square vase at
