This modern, ceramic-looking vase can be made in well under 30 seconds and only requires two materials: a 2" glass votive holder and a BALLOON.  Crazy, right??  I love that you can make it in just about any color, not to mention the fact that it has the appearance of matte glazed porcelain (my fave).

Camilla Fabbri from Family Chic created these clever little vases by snipping off the mouth of a balloon, leaving about an inch of the neck, and then slipping the balloon over the votive holder.  Of course, whether your vase has an innie or an outie is up to you.

*Well, not a living, breathing animal.  One of those abstract balloon animals... like a weiner dog, maybe?  Or how about a giraffe?

What a great idea! I wouldn't have guessed it's a balloon!

It's also a great project to do with the kids on a rainy afternoon.

I would just switch the glass cups to plastic.

I got a bigger balloon and it worked MUCH better!

Ellen, I would definitely try a larger balloon!

Am I missing something here?  Maybe my balloon is too small, but there is no slipping of the balloon over the votive holder going on here!  Help!

This is fantastic will definately be making some when I get home!!
