Today, handmade is one of the most fashionable hobbies of modern women and even some men. Want to decorate your home without spending a whopping sum of money on designer services and expensive accessories? We suggest that you gather your strength and recall all your creative ideas. Do-it-yourself vase from the bottle is a great start for those who want to plunge into the world of hand-made.
Where to begin?
First of all, figure out what you want and what you have for this. Think about where your new vase will stand, how it will differ from those that are easy to buy in ordinary stores, and which are on the shelves of you and your friends. Disassemble your things and think about what is suitable for creating a vase with your own hands from bottles or other basic materials, and what is not. You can use almost anything: glass, ceramic or plastic bottles, beautiful ribbons and lace, coins and beads, original paper and newspaper sheets ... The list goes on and on.
Do-it-yourself vase from a bottle: do not throw away plastic bottles!
If you do not want to immediately begin to solve complex problems, select the simplest option. It is a vase from a bottle, made with the help of simple tools with your own hands. In order to make it, you will need several bottles of different colors, sizes and shapes. Choose the one that will be whole (let it be the bottle that you like the most). Cut off the neck of the others so that they can be put into each other and put on the whole. After doing this, cut the necks into thin strips that you can twist a little. Glue all the details together and give free rein to your creativity: now you can decorate your vase as you wish.
Do-it-yourself vase from a bottle: glass is also useful!
You can also make a beautiful vase from a glass bottle. Beautiful dark bottles for wine or other spirits are best suited for this. You can decorate such a bottle in several ways. One of them is winding with twine or a dense textured rope, followed by decoration with wooden beads and pebbles. Such a vase will fit into the interior in a country style. Another option is to take a regular colored cardboard, roll it with a cone and fix it near the neck. After you have completed this simple procedure, you can decorate the vase as you like, for example, by drawing nice patterns on it or by tying bows from satin ribbons.
DIY vase from paper and bottle
Another excellent option is a vase made of paper, which can be pasted over almost any, even the simplest bottle or jar. To make such a vase, you will need a glass bottle, cardboard (an old box from equipment is suitable), scissors, glue and a ruler. Just cut out a lot of identical rectangles or squares (you can paint them with acrylic or gouache) and glue them over a jar or bottle, rising evenly up. You can attach the pieces to the bottle as the narrowest side (then the vase will become larger), and the widest (so the container size will remain the same).
