[175] Flower vase for minimalists

Author: Tero Kirjokivi, Helsinki, Finland

A test-tube converted into a vase
As a little present for our business clients I made some very simple magnetic flower vases. For this purpose I organised a whole bunch of small glass test-tubes (10 cm long, diameter 15 mm).
Then I glued two small block magnets Q-10-04-1.2-G on the outside of every tube. I used a special glass glue. Also this glue needs to dry for several hours until the magnets stay in place for sure.
As a little help I put more magnets of the same type on the inside of the tube (see picture). These magnets on the inside serve only the purpose of pressing the outer magnets against the glass and will be removed after the drying.
I presented each of my business clients with one completed "vase" and a nice flower. At home the clients can fill up the vase with water and stick it onto a magnetic surface like the refrigerator for instance.
