Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put water directly into a paper vase?
▼
No. The paper vase is designed as a decorative cover rather than a watertight vase. Open it gently and place it over a glass, bottle or ceramic vessel that can safely hold water. This gives you the sculptural look of the paper design while keeping water away from the paper itself.
How do I use a paper vase?
▼
Gently open the paper vase and slip it over a suitable container, such as a glass, bottle or small ceramic vase. Once the inner vessel is in place, you can add your flowers as usual. The paper outer changes the shape, colour and character of a simple container without requiring a separate decorative vase.
Can I use paper vases with fresh flowers as well as dried flowers?
▼
Yes. Paper vases can be styled with both fresh and dried flowers. For fresh flowers, place the stems and water inside the glass, bottle or ceramic vessel underneath the paper cover rather than pouring water directly into the paper vase. Dried flowers can be arranged in the same way without the need for water.
What is the difference between the mini and full-size paper vases?
▼
The collection includes both mini and full-size designs, making it easier to choose a vase for different spaces and arrangements. Mini styles can work particularly well on smaller shelves, desks or compact tables, while larger designs can create more of a statement. Check the individual product page for the specific size before choosing, especially if you already have a container you would like to use underneath it.
Are paper vases easy to store and reuse?
▼
Yes. Their lightweight paper construction makes them easy to move and store when they are not being displayed. Handle the vase gently when opening and placing it around your chosen container, and keep it away from unnecessary contact with water. Because the designs are water-resistant rather than watertight, using a separate inner vessel will help keep the paper vase in better condition for future use.
