Vase filling
One of the easiest ways by which you can quickly and easily decorate a vase with your own hands is to fill it with particles of different colors and sizes. In this case, various types of cereals are suitable as the main material: buckwheat, rice or millet. To do this, pour the groats on a flat surface, protecting it with oilcloth or any other material, and completely cover the grains with various colors.
Acrylics are best suited for painting cereals. You can also apply paint in various ways, but the most convenient and fast is to use a regular sponge. Of course, all the material that protects the surface will also be stained, but you can be sure that the grains are completely covered with paint.
After the whole cereal has dried, it is necessary to install a glass or any other object in a transparent glass vase, which will play the role of a vessel for water, necessary to preserve the freshness of the flowers. Indeed, in addition to the fact that the vase is an object decorating the interior, its main purpose is to organize a place for flowers and other vegetation. Decor of the vase in this case will be carried out by filling it with layers of cereals of different colors in the gap between the inner surface of the vase wall and the outer surface of the glass wall.
It will also be very interesting to look at such a composition in which sand, also pre-stained in different colors, will be used instead of cereal. Such a performance of a familiar element in the interior itself will be very interesting.
If the filling of the vase is not enough, then it can be additionally decorated with other materials:
- lace;
- beads or beads;
- shells.
To provide a more attractive appearance, all glued materials can be additionally coated with transparent varnish. So this decor will gain additional luster inherent in any ordinary transparent glass. An interesting craft is ready.
Pasting vases
This idea of vase decor includes several very simple options and methods. So decorating with coarse threads - twine - can be called a perfect example. In order to create an interesting object with your own hands, you will need directly the vase itself, twine and PVA glue. First of all, it is necessary to coat the entire surface of the vase with glue, and then wrap it with thread, continuously moving either from top to bottom, or, conversely, from bottom to top. After this, the vase should dry well, and it can be used.
The same pasting can be performed with other materials, for example, cloth or paper. Moreover, if we consider the fabric as the main decorating material, it is necessary to choose its type so that after the glue between the fabric and glass dries, there are no ugly marks or stains on the fabric. In this case, the use of guipure for pasting can be called a very successful option.The final result will have a very delicate and elegant look and, of course, will delight the eye of the especially beautiful half of humanity.
To perform a vase decor in decoupage technique will help a regular piece of paper on which there is a particular pattern or ornament.
In order to glue such a decoration on a vase, you can use ordinary PVA glue. After the bonded paper dries, it is necessary to paint it with a colorless varnish. Only in this way it is possible to protect low-strength material from mechanical damage and maintain the appearance of a beautiful vase for a long time.
Decor polymer clay
More laborious, but at the same time more noble and interesting is the decor of the vase with polymer clay. As the name implies, this decoration is carried out using a material such as polymer clay, which is a plastic mass, in appearance and gropingly resembling ordinary clay.
The durability of such a product will be ensured by the fact that polymer clay at a temperature of more than 100 degrees becomes hard, since all the plasticizers that ensured its compliance disappear. In order to do this operation at home, you just need to dry the finished vase in the oven.
In order for such a vase to become an interior decoration, in this case, the artist’s talent or a very good imagination is necessary, since all the decor elements must be fashioned independently.
A simple glass vase of any shape and size can also be taken as the basis of work. Options for this performance can be an ordinary tall glass or even a bottle with a wide neck. The vessel itself can be completely covered with polymer clay or left transparent, only by gluing various fashioned figures to it. In this case, there are no restrictions, and the final result will depend entirely on the taste and desire of the performer.
Other decor methods
If the interior of the room is made in a classic or romantic style, then for its decoration you can use a vase decorated with flowers. To do this, you can use ordinary artificial flowers that are glued to the glass using liquid nails or any other suitable glue. If you want to show your talent as an artist when decorating a vase, then drawing on glass with contour, acrylic or stained glass paints will be very suitable. Also, drawings complemented by sparkles look very impressive.
The basic rules of quality decor
In order to make the decor created on a vase pleasing to the eye, for a long time nothing has fallen off or adhered to the decorated surface, some rules should be remembered. The most basic of them can be called use before decorating a special degreaser. In this case, the glue will have good adhesion to an absolutely smooth surface, and even with an accidental mechanical impact, neither the flower nor the thread will peel off from the vase.
Thus, having spent quite a bit of time, it is possible to make a very interesting element from ordinary glass vases that will decorate the interior of the room. There are a lot of advantages in this work, starting from the availability of all materials and a huge number of ideas, and ending with the fact that this vase will be exclusive, and you just won’t find the same one.
