Craft The Cutest Mini Wall Vase Display With A Dollar Store DIY

Let's just put it out there: no space is complete without a little greenery and a little bloom. But if your go-to move is always the classic "vase-on-a-table" combo, it might be time to rethink the formula. There are tons of unique ways to decorate your home with plants and flowers — some extravagant, some simple, and some adorably cute, like this vase project inspired by TikTok creator Oliviasromantichome. Turns out, you only need two basic kitchen items (a cutting board and spice shakers) to create a mini floral feature for your wall.

To get started, head straight to your local dollar store's kitchen aisle. Pick up a small wooden cutting board (just like the Cooking Concepts Bamboo Cutting Board) and three salt and pepper shakers. You can grab more shakers depending on the board's size, but remember, ornamental displays always look better in threes. Either way, shakers or other small containers with flat sides, like the Cooking Concepts Clear Glass Salt and Pepper Shakers, will do. These will become the makeshift vases. Set aside some paint, a hot glue gun, E6000 Craft Adhesive, hanging hardware, any decorative add-ons you have on hand, and your favorite faux blooms and plants to create this floral display.

First on the list is painting the cutting board and shakers. Because this DIY is completely customizable, feel free to pick any color you want. Paint everything the same color, or choose one color for the cutting board and a contrasting color for the shakers. Your version might lean maximalist with multi-colored vases or glam with gold ones. Or, if you're feeling extra crafty, consider découpaging the glass shakers with pretty napkins instead. You could even distress the board with a sanding block to add a shabby chic touch to your walls.

Then, either decorate the front of the cutting board with stencils and decals or jump right to the next step: installing the hanging hardware. We suggest doing this before gluing on the shakers. One option is to attach sawtooth hangers on the back of the wooden piece. Another is to screw a pair of eye hooks into the top edge to hang the display using rope or beaded garland.

Next, apply a mix of E6000 glue and hot glue to one flat side of each shaker, and line the jars along the bottom of the board. Let the glue dry, then add your embellishments. We love how the TikToker embraced the home décor bow trend without going over the top by adding small bows to the front. You could also wrap twine around the rims for instant country charm. All that's left to do is tuck in your small greenery and flower stems. Show it off in your home or give it as a gift — either way, it's a real treat for the eyes.
