Video: Do-it-yourself decorative branches for a floor vase

Value floor vases, as a rule, is no less than 40-50 centimeters, so such a product in stores and interior decor salons is quite expensive. But what if you make such a craft with your own hands, or, having saved a little, just add decor to an inexpensive purchase for an updated one? It is about the ideas of such crafts that will be discussed in our today's article.

Floor vases high

The question is, why would you ever need tall floor vases and wide, does not occur among apartment owners with modern interior. Indeed, such products, even if they do not contain flowers or decorative artificial branches, are themselves capable of transforming the space around them, complementing furniture set etc. It is believed that narrow and long vases can visually stretch the height of the ceilings no worse than vertical stripes on the wallpaper. But wide vases, similar to jugs or amphoras, will help to give the apartment a charm. country house and will come in handy when we .

Decorate with decor floor vases, photo which you can see in the article, is quite simple if you purchase a product with simple, even walls. They can not only be painted with special paints, but also pasted over corrugated paper, decorate with decoupage appliqué, even make a three-dimensional relief on the surface. Decoration looks very impressive in modern clear glass vases using a special stained glass outline, which is sold in hand-made departments. Thanks to him, convex patterns appear on the surface, which look spectacular even without top coat, especially if you pour water inside or place it so that sunlight or artificial light passes through the glass.

Best for decoration buy floor vase medium size and simple shape. But you can also do it yourself. One of these methods is somewhat original, but quite effective. As a material for crafts, concrete or gypsum mixture, that is, casting is carried out using formwork. To do this, you can use not only purchased forms, he and plastic bottles and similar free disposable containers. Don't forget to add special plasticizers to the mix if you want to get it for outdoor use.

DIY floor vase

To interesting methods of decorating and creating DIY floor vase include hemp ropes that are wrapped around the base. This method is certainly the simplest and most effective, besides, the cost of work is very low. Glue is applied to the surface of the vase, enough small area. Then the end of the rope is fixed, and you begin to trace it around the cylinder, from time to time applying layers of glue to the surface and letting the product dry. Try to keep the rows tight, and the base does not shine through them.

Also an interesting fashionable way is to make a cover for a vase from a knitted fabric. You can use both a ready-made sweater, and knit a special yarn with elegant braids and the shade you need. And then cut it out and glue it to the surface.

But if you want to save money on a ready-made basis, then we have such ideas in our piggy bank. After all, often in the economy there is a lot waste material which is perfect for this task. For example, these can be baby formula jars or toilet paper/paper towel sleeves. this work, the master class of which you see above is made on the basis of a sleeve from linoleum packaging, it is high enough and durable for all manipulations. Since the work is for children, the papier-mache technique was used: paper soaked in a paste is applied to the surface, it is given a relief, then it is dried and painted. But in fact, you can use a variety of decorating techniques, such as using pottery sherds or wall tiles.

Good material to create a visually complex and “expensive” work for classic ones, these are newspaper tubes. Those of you who have already worked with this technique know that the products are no worse than from the wicker or even rattan. You just need to prepare a sufficient number of tubes, fix them on the basis (for example, a jar or glass) in one row and glue them in a monolithic layer. Further, by cutting them, you can adjust the shape and height finished product. You can see one of the options for the finished decoration of such a vase in the photo above.

A skillful planter for tall flowers can be made even with ordinary cardboard. Of course, you can’t pour water into such a vase, but you can arrange a bouquet in a simpler flowerpot, or you can use it to place artificial flowers. The highlight of the craft is the relief layer of the decor, which is completely, together with cardboard, covered with dark-colored paint, which makes it indistinguishable in appearance from metal forging or wood carving. You can make scuffs on the surface with sandpaper as a last step to artificially age it.

This is a 2 part post on how to make a large floor vase. First, about the blank, in the future it will become a vase.

Of the tools you will need scissors, it is better to take more, because cardboard is more difficult to cut than paper. Pen or pencil, glue gun. Corrugated cardboard material. Newspapers. Cardboard tube. You can use plastic, buy on the construction market sewer pipes. They are different diameter. Cardboard can be taken on the construction market, linoleum, polyethylene are wound on it. Can be found in printers. Also use pva glue.

First, we apply to the pipe to the cardboard and draw the outline of the future vase. It all depends on your imagination. Then cut out the first piece. Use it as a template. Draw the next one.
One vase takes about 17 to 20 such blanks. They are glued to the entire length with a distance of 3-4 cm from each other. Often there is no need to glue.

If the vase is high, that blank must be cut in half. This will make it easier to glue. In this case, the height is 66 cm. If it is smaller, you can glue it straight in whole pieces. If more, cut into 3 pieces. So it will be more convenient.

How to glue blanks?

Warm up the glue gun well. We put a few drops after 8-10 cm. We stick the cardboard on top and hold for a few seconds. It grabs fast enough. This is a big plus.

If something is not even, it's okay, it's the inside of the vase. It will build up with the rest of the layers. So we glue the entire vase with blanks in a circle.


Now you need to glue the bottom with cardboard. It's easy to cut it out. We put the base on the cardboard, draw a contour along the edges. It turns out a circle. Nothing if it's uneven. Cut out this circle and paste it.

We cover the vase with newspapers.

From newspapers we cut strips of centimeters 5-6 wide. We glue it with glue, coat the strips so that the paper is completely covered with PVA. The master does it on glass. We apply the strips to the newspapers diagonally. But this is not essential. In a chaotic manner.

In order not to waste time and materials, the master lays only one layer. It is better to glue the top place with short strips. Covered completely with newspapers. Now let's leave it to dry overnight in a warm place, for example, near the battery. Before work, PVA must be diluted with a little water so that it is more liquid, for ease of use.
After drying, we will continue to make our vase. Several hours passed. Everything dried up. The paper stretched, the vase got stronger.

Covering a papier-mâché vase

The master prepared papier-mâché. It's a pasty mess of toilet paper and glue. We take small pieces and stick around the workpiece. The work is laborious, but this stage is indispensable. Layer 3-5 mm. We impose, with tapping movements of the fingers, smooth the material. If there are bumps, make a larger layer to hide. Ribs appeared after the paper dried. Here you need to apply a layer thicker to get a smooth shape. If the paper tears, the hole can be repaired with papier mache or putty. Sometimes there are lumps due to poor mixing. This should not be allowed. In such a simple way, we give the vase rigidity. After drying, papier-mâché is obtained by the fortress, almost like a tree. At this stage, perfect evenness is not required. Subsequently, with the help of putty, everything will be smoothed out.

Let's put it to dry for 2 days near the battery. After complete drying, we begin to putty. After 2.5 days, the workpiece dried up. Happened solid construction. Tough and hard like wood. Now you can start puttying.

We apply putty

For the first leveling layer, we use putty. This is gypsum plaster to level the walls. It can be cheaper or more expensive. And the master used more elastic and smooth, more expensive. It also dries faster. Cheap ones take a little longer to dry, the properties are the same. Based on sand, fine gypsum, adhesive additives.

Pour 0.5 liters of water. We fall asleep putty. Stir with a spatula or mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained so that it is neither thick nor liquid. It is easy to stir as the mixture is fine-grained. Therefore, you do not need to use any devices. Purchase rubber spatula. He is in hardware store. Designed for grouting joints on tiles. It is convenient for them to display all the curves on the vase. You can also do everything with your own hands.

Holes formed during gluing should be covered first, because they will dry out earlier than other layers. When working with your hands, it is better to use gloves, because there is cement in the mixture, it corrodes the skin. The first layer is applied to give the vase a more or less rounded shape.

We put the workpiece to dry. A second layer can be applied after a few hours. If the putty is expensive, then it is two to three hours. After the first layer has dried, the vase must be sanded. Sand the second and third layers with zero. because finishing putty softer. In order not to scratch much, you need zero paper.

The vase should be even and smooth.

We prime the vase

Next, you need to prime the surface. We use pvc diluted with water to liquid state. Kis. and cover the entire surface. We coat well so that it is soaked. This will remove dust from the surface and give strength to the putty. After priming, put in a warm place for one hour so that the PVA dries.

The master made a vase with a narrow bottom. Since it is high, unstable, therefore, 0.5 sand was poured inside and filled with plaster. It dries very quickly, literally in 3 minutes. Therefore, do not be afraid that the cardboard will get wet.

We send the vase to dry. After the primer dries, we send the vase for the second and third time. Putty is taken finishing for finishing works. It is needed for a smoother leveling of the surface so that there are no flaws, scratches, dimples.

lovely elements decor from simple things - a vase from a pipe with your own hands

Did you recently renovate and have a pile of rubbish left? Do not rush to put everything in bags and send it to the landfill. Perhaps you will find something useful for home decor. After all, you can stumble upon such useful items for crafts as plastic or paper pipes, about the transformation of which I will tell you today.

We create original decorative elements

The disadvantage of such homemade vases is that they cannot be used for their intended purpose, especially if it is a do-it-yourself cardboard tube vase. Therefore, you can’t pour water into them and you can’t put fresh flowers. But do not be upset because of this, as these decor items are perfect for dried flowers or artificial bouquets.

Naturally, pipes are different: plastic, cardboard, metal. It is more convenient to work with cardboard elements, the most difficult thing is with metal ones. Now I will tell you about the process of creating vases from plastic and cardboard pipes.

We use pipes from linoleum (cardboard)

It is very convenient to create both desktop and floor high vases with your own hands from a pipe from linoleum, since the material is easy to process. Well, if during the repair you spent more than one roll of linoleum - this means that there is enough material to create several original vases. I suggest you familiarize yourself with several models of decorative elements made by yourself.

Lovely floor vase

For the basis of the future vase, you can take pipes from different material, but in this embodiment, a thick cardboard pipe (from linoleum) is used. The height of the future vase depends on your wishes and preferences.

So, for work we need:

• pipe;
• thermal gun with rods;
• base for a vase (a piece of fiberboard or OSB);
• thick cardboard;
• marker or pen;
• scissors;
• putty;
• sandpaper;
• PVA glue;
• old newspapers;
• acrylic lacquer.

After all the materials and fixtures are at hand, we get to work:

1. Measure and cut a piece of cardboard tube to the desired size. From fiberboard sheet or OSB, cut out a circle that will serve as the bottom for the vase. Glue the pipe to the base with a glue gun.
2. Decide what shape your vase will be and make a template. Cut out stiffeners from cardboard. Ideally, there should be at least 25-30 pieces.

1. Insert the glue stick into the heat gun and heat up the device. Start gluing cardboard blanks to the pipe.
2. Glue all the cardboard pieces. Try to glue so that the distance between them is approximately the same. For convenience, you can make markings based on a vase.

1. We glue the resulting frame with pieces of newspaper (papier-mâché technology). We dry the completely glued product for 2-3 days until the glue dries completely.
2. We mix the putty with PVA to the state of thick sour cream, and proceed to the processing of our product. We apply a uniform layer of putty to the frame no thinner than 0.5 cm.

1. Carefully coat the entire surface of the vase. We try to make the most flat surface. We coat the neck no less carefully, we also process the inside of the product to a depth of 5-10 cm, as far as the hand can reach.
2. We wait until the product dries (several days), after which small sandpaper smooth the surface of the vase. We decorate at our discretion, paint, open with varnish.
3. Beautiful decorative ornament ready for your apartment. Enjoy the result of your work.

Floor vase "Ropes"

To create this decorative element, you will need:

• pipe from linoleum;
• plywood or thick cardboard;
• small deep container;
• twine (any, the main thing is not made of synthetic material);
• PVA glue;
• spray paint of the desired color, preferably acrylic (the price in Ukrainian stores is from 50 UAH and more).

Now I’ll tell you in detail about how such a floor vase is made from a pipe from linoleum. So let's get started:

1. We take a pipe from cardboard, cut off a piece of the desired height. In the photo - a vase from a pipe, 60 cm high.
2. For the base, cut out a circle from thick cardboard or plywood. We make the diameter of the circle 1-2 cm larger than the pipe itself. It is impossible to make a base of the same diameter as the pipe, since the vase can simply fall due to its height + weight of the flowers.
3. We glue the base universal glue or PVA.
4. Pour glue into the container. We unwind the twine, completely dip it in glue and wait until it is saturated. It is undesirable to use synthetic twine, as it will not be saturated with glue and will not fix well on the product.

1. We wrap the pipe with impregnated twine. If small gaps remain between the threads, it's okay, but it is advisable to wrap the tube completely.
2. We leave the product for several days in a warm, dry place until the glue dries completely.
3. Using a can of paint, paint the product. We work with spray paint outside the home: on the street or open balcony. Be sure to protect yourself with a respirator and rubber gloves.
4. We enjoy the result.

I strongly believe that detailed instructions will help you create amazing vases from linoleum pipes with your own hands. Do not be afraid to experiment and show imagination, because you can create amazing things from linoleum pipes.

• black acrylic paint;
• golden acrylic paint;
• foam sponge;

Let's start creating the product:

1. First, cut the pipe to the desired height. If the size of the pipe suits you, you do not need to cut anything.
2. With the help of super glue we connect the main part to the bottom. We are waiting for the glue to hold the parts together well.
3. We dilute PVA glue with water (quite a bit, for easy application), brush the surface with a brush. Quickly, before the glue dries, glue paper napkins.
4. We wait until the first layer dries, grease it with glue and create a second layer of napkins.

1. While the napkins are drying, cut out the blades of grass and butterflies. From colored paper, cut out blades of grass of different lengths. Cut out butterflies from the ribbon with sharp scissors.

Cutting butterflies from ribbon will be much easier if you use a cardboard stencil. To do this, put a stencil on the tape, circle around the contour and cut it out.

1. When the layer of napkins has dried out and all the details are cut out, we proceed to attach them. We do this with PVA glue, but now we do not breed it. We glue the blades of grass with a slight slope, and place the butterflies in a chaotic manner.

1. We are waiting for the product to dry completely. This may take 2-3 hours.
2. We take acrylic paint black and paint over the future vase well. To avoid leaving unpainted areas, I recommend using spray paint.

If you will be using spray paint, it is best to work with it outside or on a well-ventilated balcony.

1. And now, the product is almost ready, it remains only to add golden notes. To do this, take a golden liquid paint, pour a little into an unnecessary bowl and apply with dotted movements using a foam sponge. Be sure to leave a part of the black background, do not paint the product completely golden, but paint over everything with blades of grass (you can use a brush for this).

After the paint has dried, the decor item is completely ready for use. You can put it on a coffee table, nightstand or desktop. Such a creation will perfectly fit into the interior of your home.

Of course, it is better to put dried flowers or artificial flowers in such a vase, but you can also experiment. Try to use good glue and sealant for connecting the base pipe and the bottom. If everything works out, then it will be possible to pour water into such a vase and put fresh flowers.

Beautiful vase "Gifts of nature"

I want to suggest you try to make such a decorative vase, decorated with tree bark and decoupage elements. This floor item can become spectacular decoration your living room or hallway. And with a bouquet of flowers inside, the look of the decorative element will noticeably change.

I want to warn you right away that it will take much more time to create such beauty than to previous model. Some elements and surfaces take a long time to dry. If you are planning to give this decorative element to someone, I recommend that you start creating it in advance, no later than 1.5-2 weeks before the desired date, so that the product is completely dry.

So, what you need to create such beauty:

• plastic pipe (about 70 cm long);
• PVA glue;
• newspaper;
• primer (any one you can find in the store);
• bark of tree;
• rope or rubber bands for money;
• colored napkins for decoupage;
• stickers (if not, you can print color image on a regular sheet and cut out);
• gypsum;
• acrylic paint;

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Take a pipe, cut it to the right sizes. Ideal Height for a floor vase (if the pipe is weaving) - 60-70 cm. If you do not need to change the height, leave everything as it is.
2. We tear the newspaper into pieces of medium size (about 10x5 cm). We dilute the PVA glue with a little water and use it to glue the pipe with newspaper. We let it dry a little, for strength we prime it and let it dry.
3. We determine what shape and size will be the area on which the picture will be placed. We cut out the area for the picture from paper and glue it on top of the newspaper. I will have sunflowers, so I make the background beige.

1. We peel off the bark from firewood or simply cut down trees (preferably with a margin, so that it’s definitely enough). To get rid of various bugs in the bark, it must be boiled for about 10-15 minutes, then dried. The bark dries for about 2 days.
   Glue the bark to the surface of the pipe. You can use both PVA glue (not diluted with water) and universal thick glue. If the glue is liquid, then the bark needs to be fixed with ropes or rubber bands - then it will not move out and can stick well.
2. When the bark is stuck (depending on the glue - about a day), we take colored napkins with a pattern. Cut out the desired objects along the contour. I have sunflowers, but you can take any flowers or a completely different pattern.
3. We take butterfly stickers or print a color picture on paper and cut it out.

1. Glue the flowers to the area reserved for decoupage. We use PVA with water for this.
2. As you can see, some sunflowers look lonely, so butterflies are indispensable. We glue butterflies on flowers, as well as in empty places. Too many of them are not needed, it will be clumsy.
   We make a not very “cool” solution from gypsum and lay out the bottom of the vase: we put a pipe on a plastic board and lay the solution on top. We wait until the gypsum dries up (about 2 days) and proceed to the final stage. Paint the bark Brown, and on top we apply 1-3 layers of varnish.
3. We put the product for a few more days for final drying. Use as a gift or decorate your apartment with a wonderful decorative element.

Conclusion

So, now you know what wonderful things you can make from seemingly no one else. the right pipes. A little imagination, patience, time - and here you have a wonderful decorative element that is not inferior in beauty to store products.

But, in my opinion, home-made decor elements are attractive precisely because you will not find the exact same copy anywhere else. And what is this very moment of creation worth!
