Vases are always a nice thing to sell, and it’s good to have on hand any month of the year. Add a few detailed elements to make it a little extra special for the winter months.

Alternatively, adding a textural element to your vases makes them feel extra cozy and perfect to sell during winter.
Give old sweaters a second life, or add knitted or crocheted patterns to the vessels.
Opt for an extra snug fit or even a reliable adhesive like this hot glue to ensure the material’s longevity on the vases.
It’s up to you and what you’d like to offer through your side hustle or business.

You can’t have the winter season without cozy decor items, and especially not without cute throw pillows like this fun snowflake pillow.
Opt for different colored beads or pillows, or keep them all uniform–whatever aligns with your aesthetic.
