Make These CUTE Dollar Tree Mother’s Day Photo Vases
Need a pretty Mother’s Day craft idea?
How about making mom a DIY personalized photo vase to display flowers? The best part is, you can pick up almost all of the supplies at the Dollar Tree!
This craft is based on simply using a label or sticker to create a “frame” for your photo after the vase is painted. My Dollar Tree had numerous shapes and options that would work for this project. You can also use a glass jar instead of a vase if desired.
Supplies Needed :
- clear glass vase or jar
- adhesive labels or stickers
- spray paint
- photo
- flowers
Directions:
1.) Place a sticker on the outside of the vase where you’d like to display your photo.
2.) Spray paint the outside of the vase. The key to spray paint is to spray a light coat, let dry, and spray another light coat. (I used Rustoleum spray paint in copper rose and robin’s egg blue.)
3.) Once completely dry, remove the stickers. You’ll now have a little frame for photos!
4.) Tape your photos to the inside of the vase.
5.) Arrange flowers inside of the vase. You can use faux flowers or fresh, it’s up to you! If using fresh, protect your photograph by placing your fresh flowers in a small cup with water first, then place inside of the vase.
Hip Tip: If you use faux flowers from Dollar Tree, combine similar colors, trim them down in height, and remove some of the greenery to give them a more trendy look.
These dollar store vases turned out super cute!
How fun would it be to display these at a Mother’s Day gathering, and then give them as a gift. I think my mom will like the one with all of her grandkids! So fun! You can also use these as an inexpensive centerpiece idea for weddings, showers, graduations, etc. Such a cute and thoughtful gift idea, too!

Does dollar tree also have paint?
They may have some craft paints? I haven’t seen any recently in my store. I used paint I had on hand. 🙂
Such a cute, inexpensive idea that I can’t wait to try! I love these dollar store project ideas that you do on here!

White would look awesome… but I definitely love the blue!
These would be cute for centerpieces for my daughter’s graduation party….paint them in the school colors. Thanks!
Yes! Super cute ❤️
Wouldn’t the photo get wet?
” If using fresh, protect your photograph by placing your fresh flowers in a small cup with water first, then place inside of the vase”
You could laminate the photo so it would be waterproof 😊

Made one already. If you want it so you can put live flowers, cut the photo in the shape of the sticker you are gonna use and glue on the outside.
So cute! Love them 🙂
Love this!
Thanks so much 😊
Great idea! I’m excited to do them!
Thanks Julie!
Isn’t it hard to peel the sticker back off once you’ve stuck it to the vase?
No it wasn’t hard in this case. Not a permanent type sticker. Hope that helps.
Soo cute!!
Thanks so much ❤️

Wait a minute! I can order things from the Dollar Store online?! When did this happen? Have I been living in a cave, or what?
Yes, but I don’t think it was mentioned that you have to buy items in lots of 10 or 15.
Above order was given on the Today Show Jill’s Steals and Deals on 3/29/18.Item number was MNP88911-BLU.
Doing this for my daughter graduation party..
Oh how fun! Send us a pic if you do! <3 Lina@hip2save.com
