Paint a delicate design onto the face, bottom or top of the vase, keeping in mind that a minimalistic touch will best complement the shiny objects you will affix later. Consider green grass for the bottom, blue clouds for the top, or brightly colored wisps of curly-ques across the middle of the vase.
Apply glue along the top of the vase near the rim no thicker than the circumference of the rhinestones.
Affix rhinestones on top of the glue to bedazzle the spout from which the tulips will emerge.
Select one rhinestone to stand out from the rest, and glue it on the face of the vase to enhance the design you painted.
Cut the ribbon to the same length as the bottom circumference of the vase.
Glue the ribbon along the bottom to give the illusion of grass.
Allow paint and glue to dry overnight.
Pour no more than two inches of marbles into the bottom of the vase.
Place tulips inside the vase carefully one by one. Add enough water to submerge the marbles to keep your tulips fresh and healthy.
