A Repurposed Popcorn Bowl Shines as a Unique Bouquet Holder

Adding a beautiful flower bouquet to your kitchen or living room is a delightful way to introduce nature into your home. Before diving into this decor idea, it’s essential to find the ideal planter or vase. A budget-friendly approach is to explore local thrift stores for a charming ceramic piece. Instead of immediately heading for the planters or vases, consider a unique popcorn bowl that could serve as a potential bouquet holder. Surprisingly, a ceramic popcorn bowl equipped with a kernel sifter at the bottom is quite suitable for displaying flowers.



The opening beneath the sifter can be filled with water to keep your flowers hydrated. The holes at the bottom help keep the flowers upright; simply insert each flower through the holes by their stems. This setup results in a vibrant flower display that remains stable and doesn’t droop. The bowl’s shape offers a distinct alternative to conventional planters or vases, adding a unique visual touch to your decor. If you’re seeking an eye-catching floral arrangement for your home, this could be the perfect solution.

It’s worthwhile to look for one of these unique popcorn bowls at your local thrift store for an affordable option. If unsuccessful, consider browsing online marketplaces for a secondhand one. As a last resort, you can purchase a new bowl to showcase your floral arrangements at home. Uncommon Goods offers a similar bowl for $48.

Alternatively, you can retrofit any large ceramic bowl you already own by placing a drain cover, such as the LEKEYE Hair Catcher, at its bottom. Ensure that the bowl’s design allows space beneath the drain cover for water storage. You might want to test the fit with several large bowls you have at home to find the best match.

To refresh the appearance of your bowl, apply textured spray paint for added dimension to your DIY flower vase. Rust-Oleum Stone Creations Spray is an excellent option. For optimal results, choose a paint color that complements the bowl’s original hue. Be sure to apply the paint in layers, letting each layer dry before adding the next. Once completed, add water and arrange your flowers inside.
