# DIY Paper Flower Holders The Paperse Vase by Cauca Adds a Personal Touch to Special Gestures By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperse-vase-by-cauca References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/paperse-vase-by-cauca/) & [cauca.kr](http://www.cauca.kr/collection/paperse.html) While a [flower holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-cam-vase) made out of paper might not seem like the most practical thing on the planet, the Paperse Vase by Cauca throws people for a loop. It is made out of a [thick piece of paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) paired with a vinyl tube so that people can use it just like a real vase. Yes, that means water can be poured into it. More than that, the Paperse Vase by Cauca allows people to leave personal messages to their loved one right on its surface as though it were a simple notepad. To add to this meaningful personal touch, the Korean design firm makes people [fold it up themselves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series). Nevertheless, it is a very simple project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Homeware:** Trend towards making homeware items customizable, with a personal touch. - **DIY Craft Kits:** Trend towards providing consumers with materials to create their own homeware items. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** Trend towards using eco-friendly materials to create homeware items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Homeware:** Opportunities for businesses to offer customizable homeware items or DIY craft kits to consumers. - **Craft Supplies:** Opportunities to create and sell DIY craft kit materials to consumers. - **Sustainable Materials:** Opportunities to supply eco-friendly materials to businesses looking to create sustainable homeware items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Jewelry-Holding Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-vase-stand.md) - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Eco Abstract Vase Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-vase.md) - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Miniature Cylindrical Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanakubari.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Self-Cleansing Antimicrobial Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potr-letterbox.md)
