I can’t remember the last time I used the candlestick holders in my dining room. This clever bud vase will get me to dust them off. 

Upgrade your tablescape with the Base Vase: This bud vase has a silicone holder (and additional adapter bands if you need a tighter fit) that converts nearly any candlestick holder into a vase. They’re perfect for occasions when you can’t use candles but need an eye-catching centerpiece.

Place a few together for a more dramatic display.

A 3-pack is available at Amazon.
