Polaroid Flower Vase

Posted on November 5, 2009

Having a few Polaroid flower vases floating around at different heights is a stunning sight. I read on Yanko design that the line holding the frame is a wire, the wire bone’s connected to the light bone, and the light shines on the plant.

I wish I could recycle the idea for my Christmas ornaments. The difficulty in making your own is how to install the light. Any ideas?

    Depending on the size you could embed a dollar store book light. Might require a little deconstruction, but that’s fun right?

    Ooh what a great idea, these would be so pretty with little bits of Holly and tinsel and whatnot! As for lighting…hmmm. I think the key is in the wire/support and where you hang it from. I can’t imagine building in an LED transformer into the ornament itself is a good idea if you plan on watering the contents!

      MsUnreliable: A precision: The DIY is to frame a Christmas ornament that would be lit from the top, not to use it as a flower vase. The idea is to give importance to a particular ornament.
