How to Make Marbled Vases with Nail Polish—Just in Time for Shavuot

Create a stunning marbled vase for your Shavuos flowers! With just a few simple supplies—and a whole lot of fun—you’ll have the prettiest vase (or vases!) on your Shavuos table this year.

Supplies You’ll Need:

– A plain white or clear vase

– A  disposable bowl

– Cold water

– Toothpick

– Nail polish – in 2 or more fun colors

-Parchment Paper

Step 1: 

Fill the bowl with cold water until it’s almost full.

Step 2: 

Gently drip a few drops of your first nail polish color into the water. Be careful – drop it softly so it floats on top!

Step 3: 

Quickly, add more drops of different colors before the polish hardens.

Step 4: 

Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors into a marble design. 

Step 5: 

Dip the vase into the bowl. Hold it there for 3 seconds. 

Step 6: 

Remove your vase from the water and place onto parchment paper to dry. Place the vase aside on a safe surface and let it dry for at least 12 hours.

Then admire the design you just made!

Ta-da! Use your new masterpiece to display flowers for Shavuos and make your tablescape extra special!
