The vase is from Dollar Tree. The tape is the Scotch decorative masking tape (not actually washi, but same idea). The royal blue and white one (our school colors) was already in my stash, but I purchased the school-themed tapes at Office Depot/Max. As I always do, I purchased the market bunches of flowers at Jewel. They didn't have the best offerings that day, but I still think the centerpieces turned out great.
Best news? It took only minutes to wrap the tape around the vases and to cut and arrange the flowers. For ten centerpieces, I spent $10 on vases, $25 or so on flowers, and maybe $10 on tape (with plenty leftover).
I used to wash out and save sauce jars for floral projects, but I may hold back on the hoarding in favor of these $1 vases. I have a large collection of washi tape and can think of all kinds of cool combos for wrapping a vase.
It's very satisfying to be able to see a project to cute completion without a lot of turmoil or expense.
