Useful tips

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 on making vases with your own hands.

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

DIY paper vase. Kaleidoscope of flowers.

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

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

We weave the bottom of the vase:

Make 4 bundles of 4 strands

Fold all the strands crosswise

In turn, “launch” each tourniquet in a circle so that it wraps around the rest of the tourniquets

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

Wrap each strand separately to get a bottom like this:

3. Weave the walls of the floor vase:

Protruding paper tubes need to be folded up

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

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

Insert the cap between the paper tube drains

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

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

Now you need to start bringing the edges of the strands-stands closer together - 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 stand strands instead of one

Now spread the strands apart again and start weaving the rim of the vase

Take turns bending one post after another.

There are many ways to decorate a vase, and some of them are so simple that even a child can do them. You can create works of art from bored old objects.

Original glass vase decoration

Using simple improvised means, you can make a fashionable and stylish interior element from an ordinary glass vase. The main highlight of the item is the use of color layers. Special fillers can be purchased at the store, or you can create them yourself from simple cereals.

Any type of cereal is suitable for decorating a vase, for example, you can use pearl barley, rice, buckwheat or millet. When using each of them, different textures and colors are obtained, so it will be more interesting to use several at once. Lay out the selected cereals on paper, cover them with acrylic paint and let dry.

When the fillers are ready, place a glass or other suitable container inside the vase. Then fill the space between the glass and the vase with colored cereals in layers.

You can stop here - the vase will look impressive even in this form, but it can be supplemented with some other decorative elements, for example, lace and beads. The selected decorations can be fixed to the vase with glue, and their surface can be treated with varnish.

Stylish vase decor

You can make stylish vase decor with your own hands using a regular hot glue gun.

Apply any pattern to a glass vase or a beautiful bottle.

Wait for the glue to dry and cover the object with paint - acrylic or spray paint will do. You will end up with a vase with a beautiful relief design.

Simple vase design

Decorating a vase this way will not cause any difficulties. All you need is a vase, an original jar or bottle and paints.

Degrease the surface of the container and apply paint to it with a brush. Blot the piece with a sponge to give it a raised texture. After the paint has dried, use a pencil to mark a preliminary drawing on the surface of the vase.

Using a pen or toothpick, draw dots on the intended design. Make sure they are the same size and at the same distance.

Decorating a vase with socks

An original vase can be made from ordinary socks.

Take any old vase, not too large, but any other of similar size and shape will do.

Trim the bottom of the sock above the heel. Place the container on cardboard or thick fabric, circle the bottom with a pencil and cut out along the contour. Attach the resulting shape to the rest of the sock, trace it and cut it out too.

Sew the cut sock and the piece cut out from the leftovers together. Place a mold made of cardboard or thick fabric on the bottom. Insert the container into the case.

Decorating a vase with paper

Vases decorated with plain paper look original.

To make a vase you will need parchment or craft paper, PVA glue and a container.

Long strips are cut out of paper and twisted into a kind of rope.

When the blanks are ready, stick even strips of paper onto the surface of the vase. Let the product dry a little and glue paper flagella to it.

To make the vase look more impressive, you can open it with colorless varnish.

An original idea for decorating a vase

This way you can very quickly decorate any vase or other suitable container.

When going for a walk, collect enough even branches of approximately the same thickness. When you get home, clean the material and cut it to the same length. Paint each stick with acrylic paint and leave to dry. After the branches have dried, glue them one by one to the surface of the container.

For those who want to change the interior of their home, we provide a good opportunity - decorating a vase with your own hands. Every home has dishes, tall glasses, old vases, any suitable containers that you want to update and make more interesting. If you look through the various options, you will certainly find an interesting master class made from accessible, inexpensive materials. We have several master classes - the choice is yours!

Today we will create and decorate a vase. The new vase will be in a marine style; such original products make the house unique and cozy. Despite the storms outside your windows, there will always be peace and a warm atmosphere in your home.

To work you will need:

1. Any suitable containers (glasses, vases, glass and iron jars, and so on).
2. Rope or thick twine.
3. Fabric dye (you can use dyes for Easter eggs or simple green dye).
4. PVA glue.
5. Scissors.

Let's start decorating with a round vase. To do this we need ropes of the same length. Draw a glue line in the middle of the container and glue the ends of the ropes. The ropes should completely cover the vase, leaving no gaps. We wait for the glue to harden and begin to weave a “braid”, as in the photo. We finish weaving and cut off the excess. Glue the ends of the “braid” onto the vase. To neatly hide the ends of the braid, you can glue additional decor made of rope.

Next, we will decorate the glass cylinder. To do this, you need to glue the ends of the ropes to our vase. They should be longer than the container (then we will cut off the excess). Pieces of rope that are slightly longer than the vase, and one long rope for decoration. Thread the rope in a checkerboard pattern through the 4 ropes. Glue is used at the bottom, middle, and top. We glue 1 rope at the top and bottom.

And the last option is decor with coloring. Take a similar container and apply glue to the surface, try to apply more at the top and bottom. We wind the rope around the vase, pulling it harder. Next, dilute the paint, or a drop of brilliant green, in a jar of water. First, the coloring liquid should cover ⅓ of our vase. We lower the vase into the water and hold it for a short time. You will see for yourself how ⅓ of the vase will be painted. We take it out, wait for the product to dry a little, add water to ⅔. We lower the vase again. The tone on top will be lighter. So a beautiful thing for the interior is ready.

These are the stylish vases for the interior.

A great idea for decorating glass glasses is to make a vintage flower vase out of the glass. Using a hot-melt gun with silicone glue, we will make a three-dimensional design on the vase. The master class is very simple, in this way you can decorate not only a vase, but also flower pots, bottles, decanters, and so on. And if you do everything in one color, you’ll get a cool ensemble for the interior.

To work you will need:

1. Glass glass or vase.
2. Light acrylic paint.
3. PVA glue.
4. Glue gun.
5. Dark (black or gray) acrylic paint.
6. Sponge or brush.
7. Napkins or rice paper.
8. First, we select a vintage stencil.

We transfer the desired design onto paper and secure the paper with the design inside the glass with tape. Draw lines on the outside of the glass.

Take a glue gun and fill the entire inner surface of the picture with glue. Don’t be afraid to smear the glue; after drying, it can be easily removed with a regular knife. Next, take napkins or thin paper and tear them into pieces.

Then we glue pieces of paper or napkins onto the surface with PVA glue. Use a brush or sponge. After the surface has dried, we coat the top of our product with light acrylic paint.

At the end of the master class, for the final decoration, we paint over the vase with a dry brush and black or dark acrylic paint. We coat the top with varnish. The master class on interior decoration is over.

Making original vases for the interior with your own hands from ordinary simple products is tempting and interesting. The master class is very simple and inexpensive. If you don’t have glass containers of this type, you can decorate any jar or bottle in this way. Vases decorated in this way are light and embossed.

To work you will need:

1. Glass or plastic containers.
2. Glue gun.
3. Spray paint.

Before work, you need to degrease the surface of the vases; we do this with any alcohol-containing liquid. We will use a glue gun to make geometric shapes: triangles, squares, lines. They don't have to be the right shape, it's handmade. After the glue has dried, we begin painting the products with spray paint. If necessary, repeat painting after drying.

Next, we place round vases on top of long containers. Glue the vases together with a glue gun. These vases are perfect for decorating a living room. The combination of vases of different shapes will look very interesting in the interior. The master class is over.

And finally, the most complex decor, but very interesting - dot painting of vases. We offer a small master class. This is done with contour or acrylic paints. Dots are placed using a contour, a toothpick, a needle, or a cotton swab. Paints for painting can be bought in art stores or online stores.

This decor is one of the most complex and time-consuming. The most important thing is to try so that the dots do not merge. Very beautiful products are obtained on a black background. That is, a vase or bottle made of dark glass is the best option for work. But look at how beautiful and unique the products are.

How else can you use glass or other containers for decoration? An interesting option: using twigs, pencils, or cocktail straws. All this can be secured with glue or double tape.

You can wear vases with leggings or black tights. Decorating is very simple: cut off the bottom or middle piece from the leggings; it should be longer than the vase. We stretch the lycra onto a glass vase and secure the bottom with a needle and thread. We simply tuck the top edge inward. You can secure it inside with transparent tape.

Glass or ceramic vases, hand-painted with acrylic paints, will make a wonderful wedding gift. They will also be a special piece of decor that will decorate your home. Glass painting can be complex or very simple.

Double stroke technique

Half the brush should be dipped in one color, and the other half in the second. Using one brush, two colors are applied simultaneously. The optimal combination is brown and white.
If you brush across the surface of the vase, the brushstroke will be two-color. In this case, the transition of colors will be smooth.
You need to put paint on a brush and apply the design to the paper first. In this case, the brush will lie horizontally in relation to the image. Next you need to draw a straight line.
When the lines are drawn, you will get an unusual weaving pattern. The lines must be drawn alternately - vertical, then horizontal. All lines are drawn in a checkerboard pattern.
When you make test strokes, you will be able to understand what thickness of paint will be optimal. You will also understand how well the paint will adhere and whether you will like the drawing in the end. If everything is good, then you can go to work.

Let's move on to painting

You need to wash the brush and blot it with a napkin. The paint should be put on a brush and proceed to directly applying the pattern to the vase.
When painting, do not forget that the color must be pure. After each couple of strokes, the brush must be washed and blotted using a napkin. Only in this case can you achieve beauty and clarity of color transitions.
Once the painting is completed, the piece should sit for approximately two hours to allow the image to dry thoroughly. The glass vase is dried in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Then wait for the vase to cool in the oven. After this, it is washed and varnished (colorless).
As a result, you will be able to create a truly luxurious item that will bring you joy or will be an excellent gift for family and friends.
This option is much more interesting than the usual plain background.
If desired, you can decorate vases with acrylic paints. You just have to want and try for everything to work out.

Painting idea for beginners

To create such a stylish and at the same time laconic decor, you do not need the ability to draw. Zigzags, intersecting lines or stripes can be easily created using regular masking tape.
You need to purchase acrylic paint in spray form, a brush, tape and regular nail polish remover, and cotton swabs.
First, degrease the vase well using any degreaser. Then you need to wait for the surface to dry. Next, you should cover it with tape according to the traditional stencil principle.
You will achieve an unusual effect if you cover the vase with small-width tape.
You should place the vase on the newspaper and begin carefully painting those areas that remain unsealed. For clearer drawing lines, you need to extend the tape a little.
After this, you should wait until the paint dries completely. Each paint has its own drying time. You need to rely on what is indicated on the packaging. Spray versions dry very quickly. Acrylic paints require baking. To do this, place the vase in the oven for a quarter of an hour. The temperature should be 150 degrees. Naturally, the product will dry for a maximum of 4 hours.
On the Internet you can find a lot of unusual ideas for beautifully decorating a vase with your own hands. Such simple decor will be a worthy decoration for any celebration.

Let's talk about some nuances

To paint a vase with acrylic paints, you need to be patient and allocate a certain amount of time for this work. It’s easy to fantasize and bring your ideas to life if you know exactly what you ultimately want to get.
Painting is a rather labor-intensive process. It is important to do everything carefully and not to rush. If the vase is floor-standing, then painting will require even more effort and time. But if you use masking tape as a handy stencil, you can decorate it quickly enough.
It is necessary to approach the choice of paints that match the color very carefully. Unusual shades: silver, gold, pastel, copper, black and white will turn a completely unremarkable glass vase into a luxurious piece of designer decor.

Secrets of dot painting

If you are not looking for easy ways and want to decorate a vase with a rather intricate pattern, you can start mastering the dot painting technique. Its other name is pique.
You need to prepare acetone or alcohol and cotton swabs. With their help you will degrease the surface. For painting, you should purchase excellent quality acrylic paints and a small synthetic brush, toothpick or cotton swab.
First, degrease the vase and wait until it dries. Dot painting specialists immediately apply a specific design to the vase. They don't make any preliminary sketches. They are characterized by virtuoso improvisation right during the creative process. If you are a novice decorator, be sure to first outline the contours of the design that you will create.

In order to quickly transfer an image onto a vase made of opaque material, you can use a soft, simple pencil. You should print or draw a picture in the desired size. After this, you should simply cut it out and place it image down on a sheet of paper. After this, you need to paint over the wrong side of the drawing with a pencil. You should cover the entire area of ​​the picture as generously as possible. Next, you should take the tape and use it to attach the picture to the vase so that the wrong side of it is adjacent to the vase. Next, the contours of the drawing are drawn. A blunt pencil is used for this. There will be a sketch on the surface. The work will become much easier.
To paint a glass vase, you just need to draw or print a sketch. Glue it on the back side.

When choosing a design for a vase with a transparent surface, it is worth remembering that the images and patterns will intersect with each other. The main drawing should be placed on one side. On the other side it is good to apply background painting.
Before you start painting on a vase, you need to learn how to put dots of the same size on paper. In this case, you should draw them at equal intervals. It should be exactly such that the points are clearly distinguished, but at the same time create a single background line.
The contours should be tested to ensure they are thick and fluid. You also need to prepare a needle in order to clean the spout. A cotton swab will allow you to correct a failed drawing.

If applying a dotted image directly from a tube is difficult for you, you can use acrylic paints. Points of different sizes will allow you to install various available means. This is an eraser located on a pencil, a needle, a toothpick, a cotton swab, a small brush or its blunt end.

Painting in Greek style

A Greek style clay jug is perfect for this type of work. You will also need excellent quality acrylic paints.
Initially, the drawing is created on paper. And then applied with a pencil to the vase.
After this you can move on to coloring. The neck should be made a transition. You need to brush over the dark. In this case, light paint is used. All that remains is to shade.

Under the pattern, the background will be light, and the rest of the vase will be dark. This way you will achieve contrast.
The lines of the pattern are outlined in red. A thin brush must be used.
Next, you can move on to dot-type painting. To even out existing shortcomings, the line is circled on both sides with dots.
Initially, the outline is made red, and then gold is added to this color.
With these contours you need to make points along all existing lines. In order to tone down too toxic orange, you can mix it with purple. As a result, the colors will be less bright. For extra beauty, you can add golden dots at the end. As a result, you will be able to create real splendor with your own hands.

Painting with acrylic paints allows you to create your own. You will be able to fantasize and bring your wildest ideas to life. To do this, you need to stock up on imagination, and you will definitely succeed.
