Helpful Hints

If you want to decorate the interior, then start with a simple craft, such as a vase, which can be made from old plastic or glass bottles using paper, twigs, tubes, newspapers and magazines, and many other materials.

There are a huge number of master classes for making vases with your own hands.

One of the most interesting and at the same time quite simple vases you can find here.

DIY paper vase. A kaleidoscope of flowers.

An ordinary glass jar or bottle can be turned into a colorful vase. To do this, you just need to glue the container with small pieces of corrugated paper of different colors.

It is better to use a transparent glass container, and either a special decoupage glue or ordinary PVA glue, which must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1, will help you to glue the paper.

Weave the bottom of the vase:

Make 4 bundles of 4 bundles

Fold all the harnesses crosswise

In turn, "run" each tourniquet in a circle so that it wraps around the rest of the tourniquets

The first 3 rows are woven in the same way. After that, four bundles need to be divided in pairs and weave 3 more rows in a familiar way - you should already have 6 rows of weaving

Wrap each bundle separately to get this bottom:

3. Weave the walls of the floor vase:

Protruding paper tubes need to be bent up

Start braiding each tube - you should have formed a vase leg

Prepare a pot lid or any other disk-shaped object wider than the bottom of the vase

Insert the lid between the stacks of paper tubes

* The lower the lid, the wider the vase will be.

Using the already familiar technique, you need to weave another 10 rows

Now you need to start bringing together the edges of the racks - we are preparing the neck of the vase

The neck of the vase needs to be braided until you reach the stage when you will need to braid two racks instead of one.

Now again spread the bundles to the sides and start weaving the border of the vase

In turn, begin to bend one rack after another

You can create a beautiful decor without large investments and hand-made skills. There are many ways to decorate: from gluing rhinestones, bows and ribbons to painting the glass surface. Consider the main ways how you can decorate a flower vase with your own hands.

Product forms

Vases of the traditional form are no longer relevant. The shape and size of the product can be changed with homemade decor. Round, cone-shaped, flat - all these types of vases can decorate the interior, become the missing highlight. The shape of the product depends on the imagination of the master and the chosen material. Most often, round or square shapes are used for blanks.

Round vases are clear and concise. They are most often modeled with plastic bottles, papier-mâché, primed and decorated. To make the vase look like a finished decorative element, painted dry branches are inserted into it. Square products complement fashionable details and are used in an interior designed in a minimalist style. The vase is coated with a primer or paint, and then decorated.

You can, of course, buy a finished vase in the store. But even the most expensive thing cannot be compared with a unique piece of decor made by oneself.

Vase decor

stickers

The easiest way to decorate a plain vase with your own hands is to stick a stencil, sticker or paper cut inside with any filler. They will look especially impressive on transparent vases. Additionally, you can paint the surface with metallic acrylic paints.

Advice! You can also stick a strip of rhinestones in the form of a ribbon on a glass vase. This decor can be found in sewing stores.

Filling a vase

Material for decor can be made with your own hands from cereals. Barley, rice, buckwheat, millet can be used as a filler. Each of them gives its own texture. The result will be even more interesting if you mix different cereals on paper, cover with paint and let dry.

You can decorate such a flower vase not only from the outside, but also from the inside, for example, using the same cereal. To do this, you need to install a glass or other container in a vase, and fill the space between the walls with colored cereals.

Coloring

For such a decor, you need to take a vase and an original bottle. Next, you should cut the surface of the container, apply a pattern on it with paints and blot the surface with a sponge to give it a relief texture. When the paint dries, you need to outline the location of the future drawing with a pencil. Next, with a pen or a toothpick, apply dots of the same size to the drawing.

Clothes decor

You can decorate a vase or a glass with your own hands with ordinary socks or golfs. It is necessary to cut off the part of the sock above the heel. Next, put the glass on cardboard or fabric, circle its bottom with a pencil and cut it out along the outlined outline. A similar figure must be cut out of the remnants of the sock. Sew the cut piece and sock together. Lay the fabric on the bottom of the container, and place the cardboard on top.

Important! For this method of decoration, it is better to choose a small container.

Paper decor

A paper application made using quilling technology can be placed on a glass or vase. You can prepare a simpler paper decoration with your own hands. To do this, you need parchment, glue and a container for decoration. It is necessary to cut strips from paper and twist them into cords. Next, stick even strips on the vase. When the container dries, you need to glue paper bundles and decorate it with rhinestones or sprinkle with colorless varnish.

You can find other uses for newspaper tubes. Glue the cardboard to the bottom, and then wrap the base around the base with bundles, forming the body of the vase. The shape of the product depends on the slope of the tubes. The finished product should be varnished or diluted with PVA to fix the bundles, and then paint the vase in any color.

Decorating with chopsticks

The next time you walk, collect several branches of the same thickness. Then clean the material. Make all branches the same length, paint each with acrylic paint and let dry. When the material is ready, you can start decorating the glass vase with your own hands. Having placed the branches around the perimeter of the circle, you need to fasten the product with ribbons, threads with buttons or other materials.

Other decor options

For decoration, you can also use napkins, tree bark, dry branches, fragments of an old lattice. All these elements will be appreciated by lovers of eco-decor.

Papier mache. The base of the vase is covered with a mixture of marked paper and PVA glue, which gives it an unusual shape and creates a durable product. After the mixture dries, you can continue to decorate the relief with improvised materials, you can clean the surface with sandpaper, or leave nothing to do at all. Anyway With the help of papier-mâché, you can create a unique piece of art.

Leg-split is a thin thread twisted from fibers. With this item, you can decorate many things, including a flower vase with your own hands. It is enough to glue the twine to the bottom of the container with glue and then wind it up along the product.

Gypsum. This material requires the skills of the master. Gypsum in the form of putty is applied to the vase. While the material dries, it is given a relief base with a knife or palette knife.

Twine. Any containers (glass, plastic, porcelain) are wrapped with palm fiber. It is better to fasten the twine with construction glue.

Glass decoration

Ribbon decoration

Materials:

satin ribbons;
lace;
beads;
artificial flowers;
feathers;
paint for glass;
glue.

The easiest way to decorate a glass with your own hands is with white and pink ribbons. To do this, you need to fold the strips in one row, wrap the glass with them, cut off the edges and strengthen the decor with glue. Glue a ribbon bow in the same place.

Advice! Tape can also be wrapped around the stem of the glass.

In this case, it is better to use thin tapes, and cut the already pasted strips. The ends of the fabric must be treated with fire so that they do not crumble.

Lace decoration

The lace contains an uncomplicated pattern. This material looks great on glass. In addition to the main decor, the glass can be decorated with rhinestones and flat beads.

Advice! I often use this decor for wedding glasses.

Loose decoration

This option is more suitable for people who work well with a brush. You can decorate the glass with swirls, dot patterns, hearts, bows, etc. For beginners, it is better to use stencils for scattering. Or offer lace and repeat its design on the glass.

Advice! For decoration, you can use simple paint or gouache.

5 painting techniques

All types of painting can be conditionally divided into several techniques. Two of them are the main ones: this is the application of paint from the inside of the bottle and from the outside. Each method has its own disadvantages and advantages. For example, painting from the inside makes it possible to achieve a beautiful glow from the inside, but limits the combination of colors and textures. And surface coloring gives full rein to your imagination: here you can use stencils, make gradient color transitions, create textures. Choose the technique that you like.

Teznika No. 1: We paint the bottle from the inside with acrylic

In order to paint a bottle for decoration from the inside with acrylic paint, you will need:

Syringe.
Acrylic paint.
Liquid for dissolving paint.
Unnecessary capacity.

Using a syringe, we inject the paint into the bottle and evenly distribute it along the walls

Before proceeding with staining, you need to wash and dry the bottle well. In order for the tone of the paint to turn out to be uniform, and there were no streaks when staining, the paint must be poured into a container and mixed well.
Then you need to draw paint into the syringe, insert it into the neck of the bottle and squeeze it inward.
Now you need to slowly rotate the bottle so that the paint covers the walls and bottom over the entire area. In order for the excess paint to drain, you need to put the bottle upside down for a while.

We turn the bottles over and let the excess paint drain

If you paint the outside of the bottle, it can be easily cleaned with a solvent.

Bottles painted with acrylic can be used as original vases, besides, they do not lose the beautiful reflection of the glass, enlightening the bottom.

Every housewife dreams of having an unusual and suitable thing for her interior. It is especially nice when this thing is made by hand. Stained glass painting has always fascinated me. It turns out that decorating a vase with your own hands at home is possible. The main thing is to determine the degree of complexity of the work performed and correlate it with your capabilities. If decorating vases is new to you, then I advise you to start with simple work. Let's start with a simple technique - applying geometric patterns.

geometric patterns

For this job you will need:

acrylic or stained glass paint for glass surfaces. You can also use spray paint;
brush (we use synthetic for acrylic paints, natural for stained glass);
scotch;
alcohol;
cotton wool

Drawing technique:

Degrease the glass surface with alcohol or any degreaser;
We glue the vase with strips of adhesive tape creating a pattern with it;
We paint over the parts without adhesive tape, going into it. This is necessary so that the edges of the pattern are neat.
We are waiting for the paint to dry. At this time, it is better to remove the vase to avoid accidental touches and smearing of paint. Each paint dries differently, read the instructions on the paint package.

A wide variety of patterns can be achieved with this technique, from parallel lines to various intersections. You can also cut out various geometric shapes and stick them on the surface of the object to be decorated. Do not apply a thick layer of acrylic and stained glass paint to the surface, as this may cause smudges.

For the first work, I do not advise you to choose rounded shapes, it is more difficult to work with them. Faceted vases are better. We work with one face, wait for it to dry completely and move on to the next. The easiest will be to work with spray paint. It is applied in a uniform layer, the spray-paint dries very quickly. As for stained glass paints, their drying time can be significantly reduced. To do this, just put the painted vase in the oven for 15 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees.

This technique came to us from antiquity. A distinctive feature of pique painting is the size of the dots, the interval between them, the combination and color scheme.

Drawing technique:

Degrease the glass surface with alcohol.
We apply the contour with a dotted touch.

If you are a beginner artist, you can draw a sketch of your drawing on a piece of paper and attach it from the inside.

You can also use ready-made sketches by downloading your favorite picture from the Internet. Before drawing the outline on the vase, test it on a piece of paper. This is done in order to feel its density. Only then proceed to painting on a vase.

If you go beyond the line, you can quickly fix the defect until the contour is dry. Wipe off with alcohol and continue to work. Consider the transparency of the vase, place the pattern on one side or at different levels.

This is necessary so that the image does not overlap. Try to maintain the same interval between the points.

I used 2 types of fills in my work: Marabu and Decola. They are on a different basis and in the work, respectively, behave differently. Decola paint was in a water-based tube. And Marabu is alcohol-based in a jar and needs to be applied with a brush. It is more liquid and can be mixed to get different shades. Decola paint cannot be mixed, so it is more difficult to perform shades and transitions in one contour with this material. Color transitions can be done by breaking one path into smaller ones.

Painted floor rainbow vase

Do not leave gaps in the contours when painting and make sure that the contours are closed. This is done so that the paint does not leak out. I would advise you to start with faceted vases, as they are the easiest to work with. If you nevertheless set to work with a rounded vase, then try to apply the fill in a thin layer to avoid paint leakage.

Vase decor with fabric and ribbons

You will need:

tapes;
lace;
textile;
glue.

Decoration materials can be of various kinds. The only limitations are the size of the bottle and your imagination.

Vase decor with beads

You will need:

glue or glue gun;
beads strung on a thread, or individual beads.

You can replace the beads with more natural materials: cereals, watermelon seeds, coffee beans. You can also use pasta that can be painted with spray paint.

Decoupage

The word decoupage from French literally translates as "cutting". In other words, the essence of decoupage is the application. In my opinion, this technique is quite simple and does not require special skills.

But you need to be patient and scrupulous. To perform decoupage work, you must adhere to the following tips.
