This bud vase stands 9 1/4" tall. It uses a 150mm (6") glass test tube to hold the flowers. One option that I considered but did not have time to implement is an LED light at the bottom of the vase. I did not work out how to hide the battery but I was thinking a thicker bottom that could hold a coin battery attached to a super bright LED. I think that would add a lot of appeal to the vase.
I used a friction fit to hold the tube. If you but the tubes with the rim then the rim will hold the vase up. If neither of those options works then a dab of hot glue under the to rim should hold it in place.

Anti-Fatigue Grip Mat Roll:
Buy on Amazon
When I purchased this anti-fatigue mat back is 2017 I did not expect it to last very long. I only paid $25 for a 70" X 24". That is relatively inexpensive so my expectations were not really high.
I was out in the shop last night and realized the mat was still in great shape. I have it in front of my workbench because that is where I spend the most time standing. It is not the thickest mat you can buy but it does help keep my back from hurting during long, standing sessions.
My only complaint is that the mat will move if sawdust gets under it. It has never caused me to slip but if you were running and hit the mat it might move. My running days are behind me so I live with it.
Don't get me wrong. You can buy better mats but for the price, this one is pretty good. If you have lower back pain from standing on concrete then this might be worth a try.
