Cylinder Vases with Inserts - Get the Look!

Over the years, I've had many emails from my readers asking me where I purchased the trio of cylinder vases with inserts that I've shown many times in my various tabletop designs.



I have enjoyed using these type of vase/hurricanes with the inserts for so many occasions. They are super EASY to jazz up with seasonal décor and always look terrific.

At one point, I used to see them in all sorts of stores and then, for some reason, they were not to be found.  Now, you usually only see the cylinder vases without the inserts.

Fortunately, the other day while in Walmart, I happened upon this "Decorative Candle Holder Set" by Hometrends for $12.99 (CA)

It comes with a black mirrored tray and some pebbles but it was the glass candle holders that really caught my eye.

I went in search of a cylinder vase in the store and tried putting one in the top.  I was so happy to see it fit perfectly.

Once at home, I tried them in various cylinder vases I had on hand.  Not all cylinder vases are created equal with some being narrower/wider and the glass inserts fit better in some than in others but they still worked.

So, if you are wanting to create some dramatic yet easy tabletop décor for the upcoming holiday season and beyond ...RUN, don't walk to your nearest Walmart and grab yourself a set of these fantastic candle holders to use inside your cylinder vases. 

Cylinder vases can be found at thrift stores, dollar stores or Walmart and are usually inexpensive. You might want to take one of the inserts with you to ensure it fits in the cylinder vase you are getting.

Another item that is optional but very beneficial if you want to burn candles inside the inserts are these small votive holders.  They are also widely available at dollar stores.

And just so you don't think the mirrored tray and pebbles in the Hometrends Decorative Candle Set would go to waste, you can still use the items as they intended...

...or you can see I inverted the tray and placed the vases on it. The pebbles were used in the vases and scattered on the tray.

 

Once you have these key pieces (cylinder vase, glass insert and small glass votive holder), the sky is the limit as to the items you can put inside the vase (and/or the insert portion) to decorate them for the seasons.
Here's just a few of the ways I've done them up for different holidays.

I hope you are able to find a set of the Decorative Candle Holders by Hometrends so you can create your own set of cylinder vases with inserts and have as much fun as I do creating seasonal centerpieces. 

Update#1: On searching Walmart.ca, I also saw these
"3 Light Glass Hurricane and Tray" by Elegant Expressions which might also work.

Update # 2: One of my readers (thanks Craig!) suggested Yankee Candle as a place to get both inserts and cylinder vases.  I found this link here.


I'd love to know if this post helped you and what you put together as a result!
