Ripple floating vase designed by the Japanese group oodesign.
Like a ripple ,"Floating Vase" is a bud vase that floats. Once on water, the vase becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding fluid, making the flower appear as if arranged directly onto the water. The flower floats nonchalantly, its stem slowly absorbing the water, changing position and appearance only when the wind or water movements allow.

The 35 Most Creative DIY Planters
If you haven’t already noticed, spring is in full swing here at Craft & Creativity. And you know what spring means? Pretty plants! And what’s a super awesome succulent without the perfect planter? Here are 35 DIY planters for all those spring flowers.
1. Floppy Disk Planters: We’ll start with an oldie but a goodie. These floppy disk planters are a great way to repurpose old tech.
2. Book Planters: You knew you saved your high school geometry text book for a reason ;)
3. Painted Pots Hanging on Fence: Buy a bunch of potted plants, paint the pots, and nail ‘em up on your fence.
4. Switch Plate Planters: We love the hacker look of this, though we’re not sure we have tons of extra switch plates lying around.
5. Hanging Garden Boots: How adorable are these? Perfect for April showers and May flowers.
6. Painted Tire Planters: Loving all the color!
7. Colander Planters: Colanders are actually kind of perfect planters since they let your plants breathe and drain.
8. Aged Terra Cotta Pots: You can totally fake the antique look with a little help from dirt, spray paint stone, and moss.
9. Modern Paver Planters: You can use readymade stones for a path and turn them into planters. Win!
10. Vertical Succulent Garden: The beauty of the vertical succulent garden will never get old.
11. Concrete Planters: We are particularly digging the sunburst-shaped planter – it almost looks like a coffee filter!
12. Chandelier Planter: What a totally brilliant use of a broken or old chandelier.
13. Hanging Purse Garden: This one might be on the too silly side of the coin.
14. Fabric-Covered Pots: Spray adhesive and fabric instantly turn boring plastic pots into gorgeous planters.
15. Faux Vintage Flower Pots: Like the aged terra cotta, these are totally fake!
16. Paint Can Planters: Such great use of old paint cans.
17. Muffin Tins + Ice Cream Dishes: When in doubt, you can always turn to your trust muffin tin.
18. Miniature Shell Garden: These totally remind us of Marcel the Shell!
19. Workspace Planter Set: No need for your desk? Turn it into a garden.
20. Sea Urchin Air Plants: Love this mix of land and sea.
21. Macrame Micro Planter: This planter is so adorable we almost want to wear it, especially with that sweet macrame hanger!!
22. Cork Air Plant Magnets: What a cute use of old corks!
23. Book Planters: The more book planters, the merrier.
24. Recycled Upside Down Planters: We love the idea of hanging tomato and herb plants for small apartments and homes.
25. Shoe Organizer Vertical Garden: This might be a better use of of those weird shoe organizers than using them for shoes.
26. Chevron Wood Box: You had us at chevron.
27. Textured Planters: The texture on these planters was created using wine corks. So cool.
28. Linen Milk Carton: Simply wrap linen around a milk carton and you’ve got this gorgeous rustic look.
29. Paint-Dripped Earthenware: Love the Moroccan vibe of these paint-dripped pots.
30. Handmade Clay Houses: Making this is way easier than you think – be sure to click through to find out how.

32. Neon Concrete Blocks: These would also double as great bookends.
33. Vertical Tie Planters: Can you say pocket tie?! :)
34. Recycled Billboard Planters: Instead of using recycled billboard banners (which we’re guessing you don’t have access to), use grocery totes.
35. Altoid Tin Pocket Garden: And last, a garden that fits right in your pocket. Adorable!
