This rule primarily applies to kitchen space, which should remain stylish and cozy, while not being devoid of interesting little things. And one of the decorative and functional attributes of modern kitchen area is vase for fruits.

Why buy a fruit bowl?

And the fruits themselves, stylishly and harmoniously arranged in such a vase, will become a real interior decoration due to bright colors and a fresh natural aroma. The fruit vase has a special role - to attract the attention of all family members and thus remind them of the need to replenish their supply of vitamins.

Varieties of vases for storing fruits

Like any useful decor, fruit vases can be very interesting, unusual and varied. They are made from a large number of materials and can be presented in various forms, ,variations.

Material of manufacture

Modern manufacturers strive to achieve optimal result, therefore they provide it to the market large number products in a wide variety.

1. Ceramics looks stylish and expensive, does not require special care. The downside is the high cost and relative fragility.
2. Faience It’s cheap and perfectly accentuates the interior. Minus - appearance simpler than, for example, porcelain.

Do-it-yourself vase is not only unique decor for any room, but also the result of the creative process of transforming ordinary objects into masterpieces of the “hand made” style. A vase in the interior can have not only a utilitarian meaning, serving as a container or basis for flower arrangement, but also used as an independent decor, decorating shelves or tables or working as an element of space zoning.

DIY vase from a bottle

We will need:

• glass transparent bottle or container of any shape,
• PVA glue,
• water,
• tassel,
• colorless varnish,
• corrugated paper of several colors,
• scissors.

Before starting work, choose the decor style of the future vase. The paper can be arranged in the form of horizontal or vertical stripes, alternating shades in the same range or creating contrasting combinations. No less interesting option– create a mosaic-like pattern on the surface of the vase from uneven pieces of multi-colored paper. The more unusual the combination of shades and sizes of the “mosaic” is, the brighter the final result will look.

Degreased surface glass bottle cover with a layer of a mixture of PVA and water in a ratio of one to one. Without waiting for it to dry, stick the prepared paper in the chosen order. Pieces or strips can overlap each other, the main thing is not to leave empty spaces. Apply another layer of adhesive mixture on top. After drying, coat the vase with varnish.

Country style floor vase

We will need:

• hemp rope or palm raffia,
• several cans or narrow cardboard boxes one size,
• scotch,
• scissors,
• glue gun

For all but one of the blanks, remove the top covers and bottom. Having placed the blanks one on top of the other, we connect them together with tape (if possible from the inside). The workpiece with the bottom should be placed at the very bottom of the structure. We wrap the resulting “pipe” tightly with rope or raffia, fixing each turn with glue. For better stability, you can put a small heavy object inside the resulting vase.

In the same way you can arrange glass vase any shape, winding the rope from its base to the very top of the neck. It is most convenient to fix the twine using special glue. The twine can then be painted in bright colors

DIY eco-vase

We will need:

• ceramic or plastic vase the simplest possible form,
• universal glue,
• tree branches of various diameters,
• saw,
• sandpaper,
• remedy for finishing wood (stain or oil).

First you need to prepare the surface of the vase for the decorating process - clean and degrease. Cut or saw the branches into disks of equal thickness, and their diameter does not matter. It is most convenient to use small pieces of wood - with a diameter of 0.5 to 3.5 cm. Applying a sufficient amount of glue to each disk, we cover the entire surface of the vase, placing the pieces of wood as tightly as possible. The less free space remains between the discs, the better the finished vase will look.

After the glue has completely dried, polish the surface of the vase using sandpaper, achieving the maximum effect. flat surface. After removing dust and dirt, apply finishing layer– oil or stain. An eco-vase can be made from anything, for example pumpkins

Luxurious glitter vase

We will need:

• balloon,
• dry glitter,
• PVA glue,
• mixing container,
• brush.

Pour glue into a bowl, add dry glitter until you get a thick mass. Inflate the ball to the desired size, place it on a convenient base - in a deep bowl or on a jar. Using a brush, apply glue and glitter to half the ball. It is better to make the edges uneven or abstract in shape to give the vase originality. Place a layer of dry glitter on top of the adhesive mixture. After the vase has dried, you can simply pierce the ball.

DIY fruit vase

We will need:

• two plastic bottles different sizes(for example, 1.5 and 5 liters),
• the simplest toilet paper,
• enamel in aerosol black and gold,
• polymer and PVA glue,
• twine or thin cord,
• tassel,
• sponge,
• bowl for glue.

Using a knife, cut off the top third of each bottle. It is desirable that the necks of the bottles have approximately the same diameter or can fit tightly into one another. The blank from a smaller bottle will serve as a base leg, and from larger bottle- the bowl of a vase.

Let's start working on the design of the vase. Cover each part individually with pieces. toilet paper, greased with PVA glue. We do not touch the top of the bottle neck. We make the required number of layers, achieving the effect of an opaque surface. We roll the paper into flagella, glue them to the base, forming any pattern. We make small balls from paper moistened with water and use them as an addition to the drawing. We wait until it dries completely.

We cover both parts with black enamel. Apply gold enamel to a sponge. We press the foam rubber against the protruding parts of the pattern. We apply thin layer gold enamel from a spray, highlighting individual areas. Connect the base and the bowl. We attach the twine to the junction of the elements using polymer glue. We wind the twine tightly, covering the joint and the necks of both bottles. The antique vase is ready.

In one of the stores, I saw an original vase, which I really liked for its unusual design. It was quite expensive, since it was handmade. Arriving home, I decided to make the same flower vase with my own hands! I photographed the entire work process and presented it to you, dear readers!

For this project you will need the following tools and materials:

Deep glass bowl. For this project you can choose any container from different material with a smooth surface.

Rope or twine. For the project I needed about six meters of twine

Glue gun

Scissors.

The process of creating an original vase:

Attach the end of a rope coated with glue to the bottom of the container. And carefully glue it in a circle, continuously lubricating it with hot glue. The process will be continuous until the end of the rope covers the top edge of the container.

When you reach the top edge, take scissors and cut off the excess part of the rope, and coat the remaining end with glue and glue it to inner surface bowls.

Then decorate the bottom of the container. To do this, wrap the rope around, forming a coil. Glue each turn of the rope with glue. Glue the created coil to the bottom in the middle of the container. Do not cut off an unnecessary piece of rope!

Start gluing the end of the rope around the inner surface of the bowl, lubricating it with glue.

Having reached the edge, cut off the excess part of the rope, and coat the remaining end with glue and glue it.

The shells of pistachios, peanuts or other nuts can be not just annoying garbage, but also magnificent natural material for making decorative and fully functional dishes, for example, fruit vases.

This bowl looks unusual, and it’s very easy to make it yourself! The main thing is to purchase a good non-toxic glue for dishes at a hardware store; fortunately, in modern times the choice is quite varied.

To begin with, the most enjoyable part of the work process is to invite friends for beer with pistachios and peel about 100-200 nuts. Since all the shells are in salt, it is advisable to remove it before gluing. For this purpose, you can boil the entire shell a little. You can give the shape of the future vase either with your own hands or use ready-made dishes of any shape. The dishes - the mold - will need to be coated first. parchment paper so as not to stain and easily separate the vase from the shell.

Mix approximately a tablespoon of glue with the shells, then form the resulting mixture with your hands or pour it into a previously prepared container. Give it the desired shape and let it dry for a couple of hours. The vase must be carefully examined and touched to determine weak points where there is little glue. We glue them again, dry them again (you can use a hairdryer to speed up the process) and immediately invite your friends for juice and fruit in a new vase!
