Flower vase ideas

Flower Vase - Creative Ideas

Materials Required :

Shampoo Bottles (Good shaped is preferable for a stylish look)
Or cold drink Tins
Tissue paper
A Cup of Water
Fevicol
Pearl paint
Turpentine for cleaning

Clean the shampoo boottle and remove all the papers sticked to that.

Mix water and a spoon full of fevicol thoroughly.
Dip the tissue paper completely in the mixture.
Wrap the wet paper to the bottle.
Ensure the paper should not wrap neatly,as we require the textures.So if it neatly wrapped,make the textures using wet hands.
The tissue papers should be wrapped to cover all the colours in the bottles/Tins.
Hence use tissue paper just to DIP & WRAP

Keep it undisturbed for 10 hours.
Once dried use the Pearl paint to paint the embossed parts not completely.
It will give the texture effect as below.


You can try with Empty perfume bottles.
