If you have a big party or event coming up (DIY wedding kind of guy), you're probably looking for ways to fill your tables with flowers on a budget. Before you buy vases and candle holders, check out Dollar Tree's DIYs – they can save you a ton of time, money, and stress.
“If you're looking for a simple, affordable vase, we've found the perfect solution!” reads the caption of a video posted to Dollar Tree's Instagram page, which is a DIY project by gardening nonprofit Growing Kindness that shows how beautiful Dollar Tree salt and pepper shakers can be used as vases.
Glass shakers have a smaller neck circumference, which helps keep flowers upright and more closely packed than other small shot glass vases.
“Genius!!” one person commented on the video, while another added, “So cute, I might try this.”
You can purchase these salt and pepper sets at your local Dollar Tree for just $1.25 each, but you can also buy them in bulk through online shopping, which is great news for anyone with a big event coming up: you can buy 24 sets (48 vases total) for just $30. You can order up to 150 sets through Dollar Tree's website.
