Finding creative and new ways to display flowers in your home, can sometimes be half the fun of receiving or picking flowers! Using Bottle Corks and a few other simple craft materials, you can create your very own colorful and bold DIY Cork Flower Vases. They are perfect for holding that single flower bud, but could also be the perfect vessel for a small air plant! The variations for these cork vases are simply endless.

First off, grab a can of your favorite gold spray paint and cover a Round Metal Serving Tray. The color is simply a preference and you could keep yours silver, if you like.

Using all necessary precautions, use a power drill to create small holes in each of your bottle corks. I used a wrench to hold the bottle corks and then slowly proceeded with the drill.

Using painter's tape, create various interesting patterns on your bottle corks. This will help keep your paint lines clean and crisp!

After making sure the tape is snug against the cork, you can have fun adding lots of color.

After the paint has fully dried, it is time to add your magnets to the cork vases! I used these Self-Adhesive Magnets and then added just a small additional dot of hot glue to give it extra sticking power.

Now that you've painted your cork vases and added the magnets to the back, all you have left to do is add the gorgeous flowers to them!
