Frugal Decor | New Use for Dental Floss on a Flower Vase!

Are you ready for a new craft using an item I got for dirt cheap/free using coupons?

I’ve already used toothbrushes, toothpaste and toothpaste cardboard boxes, the toothpaste tube, and now dental floss!  I guess no one can complain about not being able to afford to take care of their teeth, since I get toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss for FREE all the time!

With the recent Reach floss coupon, or even the Target coupon (NLA), I’ve gotten a lot of pretty much free floss.  I’ll keep a few, donate most, and craft with a little.

Here is my new use for dental floss:  enhance a vase with dental floss and beads.  This project is SUPER easy – probably the easiest one I’ve posted yet!

Materials needed:

• -vase
• -dental floss
• -beads

I have a bunch of these vases because I used them for part of my centerpieces for my wedding. I have some scattered throughout my house, and I decided to spice them up a little bit with this idea.

This is really easy – ready??  String beads on the floss.  Tie and then wrap the floss around the vase in a random pattern, and spread out the beads as you do so.  That’s it!!

Since the floss has a waxy coating, it sort of sticks to the glass so you don’t have to worry about securing the floss to the face – the random pattern you form just stays in place.

Here is the finished product – keeping it simple with just one large pretty while flower.
