Learn to make a newspaper vase by following the simple instructions below.

Steps

1. 1 Inflate a medium-sized balloon. If you are more experienced, then you can use the template.
2. 2 Use scissors to cut squares of newspaper, just a little larger than your thumb.
3. 3 Pour some glue onto a plate or small plastic cup.
4. 4 Take a brush and dip it in the glue.
5. 5 Now we glue the pieces of newspaper to the ball with glue. Do not leave blank areas.
6. 6 In the same way, create another layer on the ball. It's difficult.
7. 7 Set aside to dry.
8. 8 Then, with a marker, draw a circle on the top and bottom of the balloon.
9. 9 Use a knife to cut out these circles.
10. 10 Twist the pieces of newspaper and glue around the edges of both cuts. Note that the bottom of the vase will require more curled pieces of newspaper to achieve a stable effect.
11. 11 Secure the rolled-up areas with duct tape or tape.
12. 12 Roll a piece of newspaper to the size of a donut and attach it to the bottom of the future vase.
13. 13 Cover the remaining uncovered parts with pieces of newspaper and leave to dry.
14. 14 Paint everything with acrylics.
15. 15 Wait for the paint to dry.
16. 16 Now you can pour water and put flowers in the vase. * see tips section

Tips

• Instead of glue, you can use flour and water.
• Cover the garment with newspaper and two coats of paint.
• If you use thick pieces of newspaper, they may crumble after drying.
• Place a glass or plastic container inside to trap the water.

* A small piece of curled paper dipped in a mixture of glue and water and wrapped around the bottom of the vase will give it stability. It can also be used to create an edge or other purposes.

• Combining knowledge of history and art, create a "Greek urn" from the drawings. Then color it carefully.
• Get creative and add your own design details.

Warnings

• Be careful when using the knife.
