Are you looking for a cute little home decor item for Valentine’s Day? Something easy – maybe even a gift idea? This mini DIY vase is perfect! It’s made from a single wood block and uses a test tube. But don’t get confused – there’s no complicated science behind this tutorial. It’s very easy. Here’s how it’s done!
Gather These Supplies
• 2 x 2 wood block
• Retro Valentine Images
• Mod Podge tool kit
• Mod Podge silicone mat
• Sandpaper or nail file
• Test tube
Any Mod Podge formula will work – we recommend Gloss or Matte.
I decoupaged all six sides and let dry.
Then I lightly sanded the edge with a nail file and sealed the whole block with Gloss Mod Podge.
Mark the center with a awl.
Use a drill bit slightly larger than the test tube.
Insert the test tube into the hole.
Project completed. Insert any flower into your mini DIY vase. What a super cool gift for your Valentine! Don’t forget to visit me on Etsy, at my blog or on Twitter.

Looks great Walter! And I have to try using a nail file on my next project – genius!
