I'm all about the same thing: how to make a good thing out of junk material.
Who doesn't know about those thick cardboard tubes that remain in the store after all the linoleum has been unwound from them?
I think everyone knows. Throw them away after use.
But I came up with something. My hands are crazy
1. I sawed off the pipe of the required height (it is easy to saw, cardboard because), I cut out a circle of larger diameter from corrugated cardboard and glued the bottom to the future vase.

2. I made my favorite dough. 1 part flour, 1 part salt. I used PVA glue instead of water. When dry, the dough becomes like a stone. (The dough is made on the basis of PVA glue. Therefore, you don’t need to specially prepare the pipe. Just smear it with glue in the place where you want to apply the stucco element. The cardboard itself will begin to absorb the glue, first applied, and then “suck” it out of the dough. The dough sticks tightly .)

3. I sculpt and glue, sculpt and glue. I only wanted to decorate the lower part of the vase with stucco, but I got carried away and decorated it all.

4. I also came up with the upper part. That's how it happened.


5. The dough dries completely in 3-4 days. Sorry, I didn't take a photo here. But something like white stucco on dark cardboard.
6. I covered the dried vase with a white matte water-based emulsion. It is better to apply 2-3 layers of paint, then the dark background will be completely painted over. Don't forget about the inner walls. I painted over as much as the brush took out.
7. It seemed to me bored that she was white. Therefore, I tinted a little paint and shaded the flowers and leaves.
8. After the vase was covered with two layers of varnish. It is very similar to porcelain.

Of course, you can’t pour water into such a vase. But the dry winter bouquet, which I make every summer, looks great in such a porcelain floor vase!

Only inside it is necessary to pour stones or something else to make the bottom heavier. Otherwise, it will somersault under the weight of the pot and make the bottom larger than the diameter of the pipe.

Did you recognize toilet paper and towel rolls?

A large floor vase adds zest to the interior, the room looks more interesting. It's even better when this vase is made by hand.

The variety of models is amazing, but one thing unites them - they are made from simple improvised materials. Anyone can make such a vase.

DIY floor vase: features

As a rule, floor vases are heavy and large. The heavier the vase, the more difficult it is to tip over and break. Therefore, if the floor vase is made with your own hands and turned out to be light, you can pour heavy stones into it. Perfect for pebbles.

Be patient, because this work is not fast, even if you decide to make the simplest model of a floor vase with your own hands, simply by decorating it. Be prepared for the fact that the product is large, it will take time to place the rhinestones and sequins in their places. Not to mention the complex elements.

Do-it-yourself floor vase: materials and methods

From the basic materials you will need scissors, glue, a vase mold and those details or substances with which you can decorate the vase.

Cardboard vase

An interesting solution was to make a vase out of cardboard. This is the most budgetary and very convenient option, because the vase can be given a variety of shapes and sizes.

Think about the size and volume of your vase. Cut out the sides of the cardboard box and tape them together. Treat the upper cut at the neck with plain, colored or paper tape so that the edge does not fluff.

Glue the vase with decorative elements. In this case, these are small pebbles planted on glue tightly to each other. One disadvantage of such a vase is that you will have to decorate the cardboard with a dense canvas without gaps. And if you suddenly decide to leave gaps, then they need to be painted over. It is impossible to prevent guests from suspecting that this is a budget version of a vase. Therefore, the cardboard should not be visible in any way.

Don't stop at just decorating a vase. Decorate it further. For example, stick dotted small and large rhinestones.

Metal-painted vase

An interesting solution was a vase painted in metallic color and aged. To work, you will need a form for a vase, small figures, details, buttons, laces, glue and paint. If you want to get the effect of an aged thing, then the paint should be of two colors of a dark and light shade that combine with each other. For example, if these are warm shades of metal, then the colors should be dark metallic and gold for an aged effect. If you have chosen cool shades, then the colors range from metallic gray to silver.

As a form for a vase, an elongated square cardboard box or a pipe from linoleum is suitable. In the second case, the vase will turn out to be round and elongated.

Treat the top edge of the vase by gluing a protruding strip, or just wrap it with tape. Paste the form with prepared small details, grouping them with a dense cover or patches, combining them with large figures.

Wait for the glue to dry before you can start painting. First apply dark paint, preferably in two layers, so that extraneous shades do not shine through. If you decide that the craft should be aged, then use a large brush with dotted strokes of light paint only over the protruding parts, creating a worn effect.

If you want the vase to be plain, then after staining you can varnish the surface. And if the vase is aged, then in this case it is not necessary to varnish, otherwise the desired effect will not work.

Take your time and wait for the vase to dry, it can take about a day.

Floor vase decorated with threads

You will need a large vessel. Also, for a form that can be decorated, a pipe from linoleum is suitable. Also stock up on threads, glue and small elements that you want to finish the composition with. For the pattern, the same thread glued over the general background, as well as buttons, rhinestones, or even voluminous flowers from threads, can be suitable. This is what a vase decorated with three-dimensional flowers will look like.

How to make such flowers will be described below, but first make the vase itself. To do this, coat the finished vessel with glue and wrap tightly with a thread. It must be applied in one layer. Let the vase dry.

If you want to decorate a vase with flowers, then they need to be made separately, and then fixed on the vase. There are two color options, these are the ones shown above and from the floss on the spring.

To make the same flowers as in the picture above, you will need a bottle, cling film, glue and thread. Put cling film on the bottle and on the film across the bottle, start making one petal for the flower. Fold the shape of an elongated drop from a piece of thread. Spread glue on the next piece of thread, a little more than the previous one, and wrap the first drop around the outer edge, repeating the shape and firmly pressing the layers of thread. You will get a drop, which with each layer of thread will become more and more.

Continue until you feel that this petal size is sufficient. Wait for the craft to dry and peel it off the bottle. You have only one petal in a curved shape following the shape of the bottle. And for a whole flower you need 4 or 5 petals. Do the same until you get the required amount.

Glue the petals to the vase and plant a large rhinestone or bright button in the center, the flower is ready. Do not stop there, make a magnificent pattern consisting of several elements.

Now consider the option of a multi-colored flower made of floss threads and springs. To do this, you will need threads of a beautiful color, a long wire, a pen and a rhinestone, either a bead or a button for the center of the flower.

Wrap the wire about 6-7 cm around the handle, you will get a spring. Connect the edges, you get the shape of a drop. Starting from the bottom, pass the thread from one end of the spring to the opposite end, rising to the top of the petal. Follow the same thread path back to the base. The petal is ready. For a whole flower, they will need 4 or 5, at your discretion. Fix the flower on a vase, glue a rhinestone or a button or a bead in the center.

Choose eco-friendly materials for a vase that will stand in a living room. You should not risk your health and put materials in the house that release toxic compounds into the air.

Be patient, because to make a beautiful vase means to make a complex product. Before getting its final appearance, the vase goes through several stages: cleaning, decorating and in some cases painting.

Choose a color scheme and material for decorating a vase that fully matches the style of the room in which you plan to put the finished floor vase. Otherwise, a feeling of disappointment may arise, and all the work will go down the drain.

Beautiful decorative elements 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, 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 various materials, but in this embodiment, a pipe made of thick cardboard (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 a sheet of fiberboard or OSB, cut 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 surface as flat as possible. 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 we level the surface of the vase with fine sandpaper. We decorate at our discretion, paint, open with varnish.
3. A wonderful decorative decoration for your apartment is ready. 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 with 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 an open balcony. Be sure to protect yourself with a respirator and rubber gloves.
4. We enjoy the result.

I sincerely 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.

Plastic pipes for colorful fakes

After repair, you have an unnecessary piece of plastic pipe, and you don’t know where to put it? They did the right thing by deciding to look for possible options for transforming this trinket.

Now I will show you what wonderful vases you can make from them. Still don't believe? Then look!

Vase with butterflies

Who would have thought that such beauty could be created from a piece of plastic pipe! No matter how it seems at first glance, even the materials for the most costly. So, let's start creating a vase.

I'll start the master class with a list of necessary materials:

• plastic pipe;
• plastic cover for the bottom;
• PVA glue;
• paper napkins;
• medium-weight colored paper (any color);
• satin ribbon, 3 cm wide;
• 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 black acrylic paint and carefully paint over the future vase. 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 a good adhesive and sealant to connect 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 outdoor piece can be a spectacular decoration for your living room or hallway. And with a bouquet of flowers inside, the look of the decorative element will noticeably change.

I want to immediately warn you that the creation of such beauty will take much more time than the 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 a color image on a regular sheet and cut it out);
• gypsum;
• acrylic paint;

Step-by-step instruction:

1. We take the pipe, cut it to the desired size. The ideal height for a floor vase (if the pipe is weaving) is 60-70 cm. If you don’t 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. We paint the bark with brown paint, and apply 1-3 layers of varnish on top.
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 useless 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!

A vase is just that little thing that can give a special charm and comfort to any room. Of course, to acquire this beautiful little thing is not difficult. However, a truly beautiful and exquisite vase is not cheap. Well, some cheap products do not paint the house at all, or even look vulgar. We suggest that you make such a piece of jewelry yourself, with a little effort and spending some free time. Products made by hand look very original and unusual, besides, it is always a pleasure to admire the subject of your work. One of the options is a do-it-yourself vase from a cardboard tube. We will offer you some ideas for creativity in this article.

Making a vase out of cardboard

To begin with, we will analyze the simplest option for making a do-it-yourself cardboard vase. For this you will need the following:

• The cardboard box is rectangular in shape and small in size.
• Glue.
• Several sheets of corrugated cardboard.
• Paints.
• Putty.

Sequencing:

1. Form a hexagonal shape out of the box.
2. Engage in the manufacture of decorative elements of our corrugated cardboard vase. To do this, cut small triangles with different sides.
3. Apply glue to the edge and lay out the decor elements along the edges of the future vase, leaving small gaps between each figure.
4. After you have pasted over the entire vase and it is completely dry, apply a small amount of putty between the decorative elements.
5. After drying, paint the vase with contrasting colors: dark color - in the areas between the triangles.

Unusual cardboard vase

The manufacture of such a vase is somewhat different from the previous version. In order to make a vase out of cardboard, you will need:

• A narrow glass jar, for example, from canned mushrooms.
• Cardboard.
• Scissors.
• Marker.
• Glue.
• Ruler.

Sequencing:

1. Start from the bottom. Take a jar, attach it to the bottom of the cardboard and outline the outline with a marker - this will be your bottom for the vase.
2. Cut it out with scissors, adding a couple of centimeters to the drawn outline.
3. Cut out a large number of thin strips 1-1.5 cm wide from the remaining cardboard. The width of all strips should be the same, so a ruler must be used for this purpose.
4. Cut from the obtained strips the same lengths of 3-4 cm. Their length depends on the diameter of the bottom of the future vase.
5. Engage in the manufacture of the vase itself. To do this, cardboard pieces should be glued along the edge of the bottom. You need to do this in such a way that the blanks do not go beyond the outline drawn with a marker.
6. Apply a second layer of cardboard pieces in a checkerboard pattern. In the same way, continue to lay out the entire vase.
7. Periodically insert the craft into the jar in order to check that it fits.
8. When the bank is completely hidden, work can be stopped. Leave the vase to dry until morning.

The very next day, a new vase can be used for its intended purpose.

Important! The jar inside can be left, then the structure will be somewhat stronger. In addition, such a product can be used as a candlestick, but then the candle must be inserted into the jar.

Cardboard floor vase

In order to make a floor vase from a cardboard box with your own hands, you will need:

• Cardboard from boxes.
• Cardboard tube (suitable for linoleum).
• Hot glue or glue "Titan".
• PVA glue.
• Pencil, stationery knife, scissors.
• Lots of paper or newspapers.
• Polymer putty, for example, finishing "Hercules".
• Acrylic paints.
• Fine sandpaper.
• Acrylic lacquer.
• Two step craquelure.

Sequencing:

• Draw the shape of your future vase. In our case, this is the shape of an ancient Greek amphora, so there will be handles on four cardboard pieces.
• Cut out blanks from cardboard. Four blanks with handles. Approximately 30 pieces should turn out.
• Glue the blanks to the pipe. Glue blanks with handles on two sides.
• Try to place the workpieces close to each other - at a distance of approximately 1 cm.
• Glue the resulting shape with paper or newspaper pieces with PVA glue. It is advisable to do this in several layers so that there is a good density and so that the newspaper does not tear during the application of the papier-mâché layer.
• Soak egg cartons in water, then wring out and mix them with PVA glue using a mixer. After the mass is thoroughly mixed, coat the entire vase with it.
• When the vase is dry, turn it upside down and smear it with the mass, or apply a sickle net.
• Coat the bottom of the product with putty, and when it dries well, coat the entire vase.
• After drying, go over the craft with sandpaper to make it smooth.
• Paint the vase with gold spray paint.
• Draw a picture and color it. However, before applying the drawing, you must first make a sketch of the vase in order to properly think about how it will look as a result.

Important! When applying the ornament, you can make a stencil so that the pattern is even, circle with a pencil and paint with a thin brush.
