What's the best way to light a glass vase from the inside without wires?

Question

I have this really nice large glass vase. It was an unusual centerpiece at a wedding I went to. From what I can tell, the bride covered regular long glass vases (for sunflowers or other long plants) and covered them in numerous pieces of blue glass/plexiglass/plastic, giving them that crackle over plain glass look I've seen on a lot of vases in stores. At the wedding, they had these little led keychain lights, almost like keychains, lighting the vases (as well as strategically placed candles nearby), but the LEDs burn out and the candles aren't practical every day.

Also from the wedding are these beautifully branches painted silver that are held in the vase. With proper soft light, these silver branches would like really beautiful. I'd like to find a permanent soft light to create a glow (preferably blue) emanating from the vase, but without wires or constantly replacing batteries. What sorts of lights are reasonable priced, small enough to fit in a vase, and not super bright.

Answer 1

There are flickering candle bases that are actually battery powered. They come in a lot of styles. These are safer, more practical and still pretty. If you cannot find a blue one (I know I have seen them in a catalog recently with all of the holiday shopping going on), you could always try a craft or even aquarium store for blue glass gravel. You could place those around the flameless candle and it should cast a very pretty glow.
Enjoy!

Answer 2

It does sound pretty. I think the bride would be thrilled to know that someone is using her creation. Have you seen these rechargeable tea lights? It's cheaper and you won't be throwing away a constant stream of poisonous batteries into the environment. The lights are kind of goofy looking on their own, but inside a vase, they will be really pretty. Since they are cool, you could wrap the inside of the vase with blue tissue paper and it wouldn't burn.

in case you like a speedier, greener thank you to bathe the vase: a million - vinegar and uncooked rice SHAKE ( the vinegar cuts contained in the direction of the residue and the uncooked rice will abrasively rub the place your arms won't be able to attain ) OR 2 - purchase some soapnuts (google), boil a handful in water for 10 minutes then stress the liquid and use this liquid rather of vinegar for approach a million ( nevertheless use the rice too and SHAKE )

I agree with Michelle. You can buy all sorts of artificial candles now days from pillars to tealights some even have scent. Here are two web sites you can go to for ones without scent www.windycitynovelties.com and www.qvc.com they have several different kinds and sizes. Hope this helps.
