Create Perfume-Inspired Home Decor With A Few Affordable Dollar Tree Finds

French perfume bottles are high on the list of luxuries, and Chanel No. 5 is perhaps the most quintessential of them all. The classic square glass bottle with a no-frills label is so unassuming. Yet, it's instantly recognizable — and desirable — at a mere glance. What could look more decadent than an "up-cycled" Chanel No. 5 bottle burgeoning with flowers? A few extra touches like tinted water and blingy bits make this an ultra-posh, yet ultra-affordable DIY. Plus, it requires virtually no skill.

Don't have a bottle? Morph a plain glass jar from Dollar Tree into a bougie perfume bottle dupe to get a luxe look on a budget. Get your dollar bills and quarters ready to purchase a Square Glass Jar and a bundle of artificial flowers. Roses are very fitting, but imitation daffodils, mums, or peonies will look equally lovely with shifting seasons. 

This look can pretty up any space when it's filled with dyed water, flowers, and jeweled accents like these KIAFUM Diamond Bouquet Pins. You can avoid possible spills that stain by subbing the water for glitter glue from Dollar Tree to achieve the same look as dyed water. Fill the jar with two or three bottles of Crafter's Square Washable Glitter Glue in pink or gold. Then, print off a label or a piece of paper to advertise your high-end vessel as your favorite perfume. Assure a solid hold by cleaning the glass surface before applying the label with glue or with a covering of clear packing tape.

Once you've stuffed your vase with blooms, try some of these game-changing tricks that make artificial flowers look so real. Or, forget the fakes and fill your vase with the real deal. You can also use it as a vase for the many houseplants that need a bit of water to propagate. Protect the label from water damage with a few coats of Mod Podge, or cover it with clear packing tape — just be sure to trim off any jagged edges made by the cutting teeth on the tape roll.

If even a knock-off bottle of Chanel is too rich for your blood, take this project and give it a kitschy or vintage twist. Is there a scent from your past that still brings a smile to your face? Other square-bottled scents of old like White Shoulders or English Leather will take this project back to the mid-century. Or, pick from one of Dollar Tree's many other shapes of clear glass containers to pull off another perfume dupe. The labels for some scents are simply text on a clear background. Whip up a clear-backed sticker if your perfume dupe calls for one with this genius way to make chic labels without a label maker — and voila, you'll have your own customized perfume bottle-turned-vase ready to go.
