Keep the summer vibes going year-round with this cute little DIY beach ball vase! I found the beach ball cups at Party City and instantly knew they would make the best, most summery vases. I had a vision to change the colors out to suit my style. Then I just added water and flowers, and a tropical acrylic stem from my shop! See the video tutorial right here.

What’s really great about these little beach balls is that you could also use them as a planter or even a drinking glass. If you want to use them for drinks, make sure to sand before painting and add a clear coat of Mod-Podge after the paint dries to seal everything.
