Transform test tubes into mini vases

Delicate handmade vases

Test tubes aren’t just for laboratories – they also make wonderful, dainty vases. This pretty decorative vase arrangement is made by combining test tubes of varying heights. edding gloss paint markers are the ideal choice for the decoration, as their gleaming ink shows up particularly well on smooth surfaces such as glass. Simple painted designs are all it takes to make your vase set really eye-catching in a matter of moments. There is a variety of stroke widths and a range of 22 different colours to choose from. What’s more, the ink is smudge-proof and waterproof, so you can enjoy your decorated vase for a long time to come.
