What you’ll need to make a cabbage vase

- a sharp knife
- water
- your favourite flowers or Easter flowers
- decorative greenery
How to make a cabbage vase step by step
1. Prepare the cabbage
Start by removing a few outer leaves – this will give you a nice, even shape.
These leaves create a natural “bowl”, so don’t overdo it – rustic is better than perfect.
2. Hollow out the center
Use a sharp knife to cut a hole in the middle of the cabbage.
It should be large enough to fit a glass or small jar.
Pro tip: take your time – the cabbage should stay stable and not crack.
3. Insert the glass and add water
Place the glass inside and fill it with water.
This is your hidden “vase” that will keep the flowers fresh.
4. Arrange the flowers
Start with greenery – it creates the base.
Then add larger flowers (like roses), and finish with smaller fillers.
Don’t arrange everything too neatly.
The more natural it looks, the better.
5. Add the finishing touches
Turn your arrangement and check it from every angle. Make small adjustments and add final details.
Done. The result? Natural beauty that turns heads. This is one of those projects that looks more expensive than it actually is.
When does this vase work best?
- Easter table décor
- spring gatherings
- Easter breakfasts
- everyday decoration (why not?)
Or anytime you want to surprise someone with something different than a classic bouquet.
A little tip at the end
If you want your arrangement to last longer, change the water in the glass every 1–2 days.
The cabbage itself also stays fresh for quite a while, so the whole composition can look beautiful for days.
