How to hide vase with yellowed acrylic water

i have a beautiful  large arrangement of  roses that has that acrylic water at the bottom that has turned yellow .  The flowers of course are permanently secured to the acrylic so they can't be removed .  I'm looking for ideas to hide the water on the clear glass vase bottom area.  I thought about paint but I'm not good at free handed  design.  I'd love any ideas !

Tie wide ribbon around the bottom of the vase, surround the bottom of the vase with faux greenery, paint the bottom of the vase.

Simple one, change out for seasonal decorating:  a beautiful vase, ceramic or woven or fabric- covered by you

 

 

if you can tie gorgeous, large bows, use a wire-edged ribbon that will keep its loft over time.

 

Great opportunity to be very creative !

@Kitty Galore  What type of vase? If it is square or smooth enough it might accept a rub-on decal that you can add to it, it may need to have a clear coat over it.

 

Edit to add: Maybe think about decoupagind a fabric, pretty papger or burlap to the vase?

@Kitty Galore I would also suggest to glue or tie a pretty ribbon around the vase or you could also get that burlap twine ribbon and wrap all around it and glue some greenery or moss used for crafts.

@We rescue cats   It's a smooth rounded more at bottom and tapers as it goes up .  I like the burlap idea .  Thanks 😺

@Kitty Galore, is the vase itself large?

If not, then keep your eye out for a larger, attractive vase that it would fit inside of.

I would slip the whole shebang into another vase.
