Dollar Tree Icicle Vase Tutorial

Hello Friends,
For today’s project I will be showing you how to create an icicle vase using DT supplies. It really is a simple but beautiful project. And it is so EASY to create!

Only a minimal amount of supplies are needed, so it is very budget-friendly as well as beautiful.
So without delay, let’s get to it!

Supply list

• DT cylinder vase
• one or two 10-pack of smaller DT icicle ornaments
• one 8-pack of DT larger icicle ornaments
• wire cutters or snips
• glue gun
• Mod Podge, optional
• faux snow and/or iridescent glitter, optional

My first step for this DIY was to remove the round loop from the top of all of the icicles. I did this by very gently snipping off the loop with my snub-nose wire cutters.

After all the icicles were ready, I simply began glueing the icicles to the vase one by one. I glued them upside down, where the widest part of the icicle was at the bottom of the vase with the tip of the icicle pointing toward the top of the vase.

I made sure to alternate between the shorter and longer icicles, creating a pattern that I thought was pleasing. The two packages of icicles covered the entire vase fairly well.

At this point, I could have been finished. But I decided to open up another pack of the smaller icicles and add a few more to the vase. I added another icicle anywhere on the vase where I thought there was a gap; sometimes, stacking the icicles.

Once I was happy with how the icicles looked, I decided to add some faux snow and iridescent glitter to the base of the icicles where I had snipped off the loop. I thought this would help to soften the look a little. After brushing on some Mod Podge, I sprinkled on some of the faux snow and glitter, shaking off any loose particles.

And I think this icicle vase turned out so BEAUTIFUL!! I actually think is looks better as a candle holder than a vase. Of course, it would be just as beautiful full of flowers.

How BEAUTIFUL is this vase? This is SERIOUSLY one of the quickest and easiest projects I have worked on in a long time. I hope you like it as much as I do!

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this idea, and create something similar for your home.
If your a beginner crafter, I think this would be an EASY craft for you.

Until next time….

Happy Crafting!
