Flowers are already pretty as they are, but it wouldn’t hurt to jazz up a plain vase with something you might already have on hand: seashells (Finally! A use for those beach souvenirs.) First, lay out the shells on the table and decide which ones you want to use. Do you want to work with similar ones or experiment with your own pattern? Arrange the shells on the table according to how you want them on the vase. Use hot glue to permanently attach them to the vase. Now you’ve got a beach-inspired arrangement to brighten up any corner.
