Filling Up A Vase
Do you have a need to fill a vase for aesthetic reasons? So, whatever you want to fill a vase with, you can save money on the filler by placing a huge object in the vase first to fill up the space. Consider the illustration below: the wine bottle indicates that less cork is required to fill this vase.
