Turn this Junk into Vase Perfect for Work

I've learned something about myself that may very well apply to you too: plants brighten up my mood. Something about having a plant nearby calms me and there's scientific evidence supporting that I'm not insane for thinking so.

So what better place to make sure you've got plants than the office? And what better kind of plant to have around than beautiful flowers?

You can be green even while adding flowers to your workspace.

Here are 5 common items that could easily make for your next vase:

1.Wine bottles.

2.16 and 24 oz plastic bottles.

3.Empty cleaning spray bottles.

4.Cracked drinking glasses.

5.Any tall jar missing a lid.

Now, I know what you're thinking...some of these ideas might sound kind of bland. But I guarantee that with a bit of creativity, you can turn the above items into green inspirations for your entire office. Peel off the labels. Decorate the containers with anything you deem worthy (translucent paint, sequin, mosaic, etc., and of course the flowers do the bulk of the decorating themselves.

Brighten your mood at work while being a green influence. Perfection!
