Take any glass cup and degrease it. Now draw a sketch on a piece of paper. It is advisable to depict a floral and floral motif or abstraction. Such forms will be conveniently transferred to glass. If you move away from the sketch a little, it will not be very noticeable. Use a pencil for glass to transfer the linear pattern. Now circle it with special contours. Fill the space between the convex lines with special stained glass paints on the glass. Acrylic is also allowed to be used, but it will be worse to stay on a smooth surface, especially when you consider that the vase will often come into contact with water. After the product is ready, cover it with varnish and dry well.

Glue the second row on the first, reducing the gaps between the elements. At this stage, the work needs to be completed.

Stir the pulp and let it stand for at least two to three hours. Put paper paste on the form you need in layers. If you use a ready-made vase as a base, grease it with a fat hand cream. When the first layer of paper is applied, fix it with glue and leave to dry for a day. Then apply a second layer of paper and dry again. If you made the layers thin, then you can apply the newspaper pulp again. When the product dries, cut it in half and remove the mold. Glue the two halves of the paper vase with glue. It remains to apply a primer on the paper, and then paint the product. If necessary, you can make a bas-relief on a vase from the remnants of paper pulp.
