Don’t take anything off private land unless you have permission. Please take caution with taking things from any where other than your own property. They are all over the place so for a few mornings a took a bag and picked up the few that had ended up in the street. I walk every morning by an condo complex with trees that drop these large what I think are seed pods, all over the place. Start in your own yard, rocks, dirt, sticks, leaves, seed pods, and who know what else you can find. Outside can be a treasure trove of vase fillers. Your kitchen, I bet may have some rice or sugar sitting in the pantry. Maybe you have a collection of wine corks or a vase already filled with glass marbles. I mean really take a walk around your house and look for vase fillers with fresh eyes. Okay so the way to really save some money on your vase fillers you need to get really creative! It is fun, when you really start looking around, the ideas are endless.

The sand can be the main filler and the shells can be used sparingly on top. If you do fall in love with say for example some beautiful crushed shells, you could buy a smaller quantity by finding some other less expensive filler, like sand from an home improvement store. The one problem is they can be expensive if you need a large quantity. They usually have some beautiful options, sand in all colors of the rainbow, beautiful white shells, shiny river rocks, and more.

The first place you can go to find a vase filler is your local craft store or floral supply store. Whatever the reason, some space usually needs to be filled up with something pretty that ties in with your theme or color palette. The filler maybe just decorative to fill empty space or it could serve a purpose, like standing up signs for a photo booth. Vases, jars, bowls, pots, boxes, buckets, usually there is something at a party that needs to be filled up just for the sake of being filled up. Planning your next party, maybe it’s a wedding shower, a retirement party or any party and you will usually need something to fill up. Simple, easy to find at home, in nature, dollar store or craft store vase filler ideas.
