A vase from a bottle and toilet paper. Decoupage of bottles in different versions (photo). What materials will be needed

Flowers create a pleasant atmosphere in the house and are pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, sometimes there is no suitable vase for a cute bouquet of lilies of the valley or elegant red roses. Today, plastic bottles are used not only for storing liquid, but also as an ideal raw material for making crafts. We have collected for you photo of vases from plastic bottles- different ideas for inspiration from experienced craftswomen.

Photo of beautiful vases for flowers from bottles

One of the simplest ways to make a vase from bottles is to cut off the neck and cut part of the bottle into equal strips. At the same time, do not forget to leave a distance to the bottom such that a flower can be placed in the vase.

Even children can make a vase from plastic bottles. This will require scissors, plastic bottles, and acrylic paints. The bottle is cut into three parts. The middle part will just need to be thrown away. The bottom of the bottle makes a great stand. On it you can draw what patterns or floral prints. It is better to cut the top element figuratively and paint it in any one color so that the vase turns out to be contrasting and the patterns drawn earlier are visible on it.



Magical transformations of an ordinary bottle. Master class with step by step photos.



Description: the master class is intended for all, without exception, creative people who are fond of making crafts for the house with their own hands from waste material, which, in fact, are used glass bottles. I propose several ways to decorate bottles, as a result of which they turn into original vases that can be used to decorate the interior, as a gift, as an exhibition item. Kindergarten and school teachers can apply a master class in working with children to organize hobby or extracurricular activities.
Purpose: making a vase from a glass bottle using various techniques.
Tasks:
* develop the ability to see the unusual in the ordinary;
* to acquaint with various ways of decorating a bottle: decoupage, stained glass painting, peyp-art;
* develop creativity.
In our time, the problem of environmental pollution by waste of human activity is very acute. This is all kinds of garbage, lying around not only near garbage containers, but also in our yards, parks, in nature. Wherever a person appears, he often leaves behind a garbage dump. In the spring of 2016, the children of my group and I often observed this picture and did what we could, clearing the groves near the kindergarten, the area around the spring and other beautiful places in our village.
In addition to these events, the guys and I make beautiful vases from used glass bottles. Thanks to this, there is still less garbage on our streets. The guys are thinking about the fact that it turns out that it is possible to give a second life to objects that are usually thrown away. They bring these things to kindergarten, where we subsequently make beautiful handicrafts from them.
Today I would like to offer various options for decorating a glass bottle. This is a very interesting and exciting activity. Since the bottles are very beautiful and original in shape, I have always been sorry to throw them away. Why, if you can turn them into beautiful vases?
Note: before decorating the bottle, it must be cleaned of stickers and traces of dirt. Soak in water, remove the stickers. We wipe the bottle with alcohol or acetone. Traces of glue can be easily removed with solvent or acetone. We put it on a cloth and wipe the bottle. Naturally. we do this part of the work ourselves, without the participation of children. Be careful when using chemicals.


Having got acquainted with the decoupage technique and having decided to master it, the first thing I did was decoupage bottles. These were my first crafts in this technique. With children, we also first mastered decoupage, making vases from bottles and jars. On March 8 this year, we presented such vases to mothers and grandmothers.
We need:
* glass bottle of interesting shape;
* white acrylic paint and varnish;
* napkin with a picture;
* sponge or sponge for staining;
* flat brush No. 12 (bristles);
* scissors;
* PVA glue.


Today I have a very original bottle, asymmetrical in shape, with a relief pattern on one side.


Let's play with its shape. There is a minimum of work here, since I will not do the background, I will leave it white. Therefore, we paint only one side, where there is a drawing and letters. We paint over with white acrylic paint using a sponge or a special sponge. I make them myself (to a long stick from an old brush, glue a piece of sponge with any glue at hand. The sponge is ready. It allows you not to get your hands dirty with paint, as happens when using a regular sponge).


Choosing a napkin with a pattern. I have a three-layer one with roses.


Cut out three roses very close to the drawing, being careful not to leave paper around the edges. Since there will be no background, the edge of the napkin on the vase will be visible with a carelessly cut drawing.


Remove two extra layers. We leave the top one with the picture, and we will stick it on.


The drawing will be glued to the front of the bottle. We smear it with PVA glue. We dilute the thick glue in a 1 to 1 ratio for more convenient work.


Place the cut roses on the area covered with glue.


We brush with a wet flat brush on top, pressing and smoothing the drawing. (I also use my fingers for this purpose. With my index finger dipped in the glue, I smooth out the wrinkles and feel the material better). Thus, we glue all three roses, placing them at will and creating a beautiful composition.


Result:


After drying, cover with acrylic varnish only the area with glued roses (2-3 layers with intermediate drying). We do not touch the rest of the bottle surface.
Different angles:



This is how it looks in an interior with flowers.



I offer various options for vases, made by me at different times.


We use it in our group.


Winter version with a bouquet of artificial flowers.


This vase is already four years old and has not deteriorated at all, although we use it regularly.




And another one like this:



This composition adorns the shelf in my house. It looks, in my opinion, very harmonious.


Several vases of children:




Of course, these are not all of our vases, but I think the essence is clear. Everything depends on you. Imagine, create and everything will work out!
Tips for Beginners:
1. When decoupage always the primer is made with white acrylic paint. Since the pattern from the napkin is translucent and very thin, it simply will not be visible without preliminary staining with white.
2. When working, one, two and three-layer napkins are used. Be careful not to remove excess layers. Otherwise, your work will look rough and not entirely aesthetically pleasing. You can use absolutely any napkins, sometimes the cheapest look great. But some are still not suitable for decoupage: they immediately blur and tear when soaked. We just don't use them and don't offer them to children.
3. After completing each step, dry the product. Only then can you proceed to the next manufacturing operation. You can use a regular hair dryer to speed up the process. But it is better to wait for the varnish to dry naturally.
4. After gluing the pattern from the napkin, the most interesting thing begins: decorating the craft. You can paint and draw details, apply a background of a different color. The background will combine the disparate details of the design into one whole and make the work perfect.
5. We apply acrylic varnish in two or three layers. You can use more durable varnishes if you want, but make sure first that they will not change the color of your craft. Some varnishes give yellowness and can ruin your product.
6. The most important thing: you don't need to be afraid of anything. If you don't like the result of the work, we wash it off, delete it and start all over again. I'm tired of the craft - we paint over with white paint and decorate again. I do this very often.

Option number 2. Stained glass painting of a bottle.

I recently discovered this technique. So far I am mastering myself and involving children in this business. Today I offer three vases in this technique.
Vase with butterflies.


Materials:
* beautiful colored glass bottle;
* Bronze marker;
* stained glass paints;
* templates with images of butterflies;
* scissors;
* braid for decoration;


To make such a vase, you will need templates with the image of butterflies. For example, these are:


We print and cut out.


Place the butterfly on the bottle and trace it with a bronze marker.



Redrawing the drawing of the wings.


We select stained glass paints. When using stained glass painting, I faced the fact that it is not always possible to predict how the paints will look after drying. They change color. It also depends on the color of the bottle itself. Therefore, if you do not like the result, we wait until it dries and carefully remove the fragment of the pattern you did not like.
So, it is better to put the bottle on the table, placing a cloth so that it does not roll over. Carefully apply the selected stained glass color without going over the drawn outline.



This is how it looks after drying.


I used glitter stained glass paint. I like the result. It is better to wait for the pattern to dry on one side, then move on. We draw with stained glass small butterflies on the other side of the vase.


Has dried up.


I propose to decorate the neck of the bottle with a beautiful braid that matches the color of the painting.


Let's take a closer look at some vase angles.






This is how it looks in the interior. Even so beautiful. If you wish, you can put flowers in a vase.




Vase with flowers


Materials:
* a beautiful bottle of green glass lemonade;
* white marker;
* stained glass paints;
* silver braid for bottle neck decoration;
* universal polymer glue.


Draw flowers at random on the surface of the future vase with a white marker. We just fantasize or find the drawing we like and redraw it.


I dreamed up the simplest drawing.



We begin to apply stained glass paints. First, on one side of the vase, then, after the pattern has dried, on the other. Otherwise, if you immediately apply paint to the entire bottle at once, it can be greased or the paint will flow. We'll have to start all over again. Therefore, armed with patience, we do everything slowly.



For flowers I use pink stained glass with glitter, for leaves I use green. Result:


On the other side there are flowers with blue glitter.



Glue the neck with silver decorative tape. We glue on universal polymer glue.



In the interior:


Vase "Summer mood"


I will not describe the manufacturing process in detail. It is similar to the one described above. I will note the differences. This vase combines stained glass painting with acrylics on the background. The lemonade bottle is transparent. A drawing was applied on it with a white marker: butterflies, dragonfly, chamomile, berries. Stained glass drawing. The blue background is made with acrylic paint, the grass is traced in green. The areas painted with acrylic paints are covered with varnish. A decorative braid is attached to the neck.




Option number 3. Vase in the paper-art technique.


Paper art is translated from English as paper art. For decoration, napkins, toilet paper and PVA glue are used, with the help of which an interesting texture of the product is created.
Materials:
* glass bottle from kefir;
* PVA glue;
* toilet paper;
* white acrylic paint varnish;
* bronze and purple gouache;
* hair spray;
* brushes for coloring;
* stained glass shine;
* decorative braid of gold color;
* pebbles for decoration;
* universal polymer glue.



Apply PVA glue to the bottle.


We tear off pieces of toilet paper and paste over the entire surface of the bottle with them, making folds.

This MK will be about how you can use toilet paper off-label for the benefit of your interior. A minimum of improvised material, a minimum of time and a drop of imagination.

So, we need:

  • empty bottle,
  • t / paper,
  • starch glue (or wallpaper),
  • paints,
  • brush.

1. While the hands are dry, tear off 4-5 strips of paper with the calculation for the bottom and neck.

2. Install the bottle on a stand and coat the whole with glue. We begin to glue the paper from the neck, glue it and, at the same time, form embossed folds with our fingers. The texture can be changed depending on what we want to get in the end. I tried to copy the rain. I hope it worked

3. So we glue the entire surface (except for the bottom) and let it dry.

4. We put the bottom in order, and for this we grease the remaining unsealed sections of the glass with glue and glue each strip separately. Don't forget to form folds. Let it dry.

5. It's time to decide on the main color. For me it will be lilac acrylic. Paint, let it dry.

6. And now we coat all convex folds with white acrylic with an almost dry brush or sponge. If we use gouache or watercolor, then it will need to be varnished after drying.

7. Here is a "piece" of the first spring rain on my window moved, froze and now it will be a pleasant memory of this amazing day!

I wish you creative success!

This technique can be used for more than just bottles and flower pots. There is a practice of decorating walls (with a different texture). The result is absolutely extraordinary. True, when the time comes to tear it all off the wall, it's easier to buy a new apartment.

How to make a vase from a glass bottle

The methods of decorating glass bottles for wine, beer and other drinks are no less varied. Despite the fact that their shape is much more difficult to change (the maximum is to cut off the neck), do-it-yourself vases from glass bottles turn out to be much more elegant and interesting. Vases made of tall and narrow glass bottles are often used in "sets", placing 1-3 flowers in each of them.

At the same time, homemade vases made of cognac, etc., low bottles can be decorated with beads, shells and act as an independent decorative element.

Unlike plastic containers, a glass bottle vase is usually painted on the inside. The paint is simply poured into bottles, where it spreads freely along the walls. Thanks to this, the vases not only receive a new color, but also retain the glossy shine of the glass.

An exception is the spray painting process. It allows you to evenly apply paint to the glass surface, without the formation of smears. Use this option if you want to make frosted glass bottle vases with your own hands or give them an ombre effect.



Using stencils or hand-painting skills, you can create a beautiful pattern for a bottle vase.


In addition to painting, you can also:

  1. Wrap a glass bottle with thick thread or twine;
  2. Decorate it with ribbons, lace or fabric;
  3. Apply decoupage.

In the following photos you will see examples of such works.




How to make a vase from a bottle and pieces of fabric: examples with knitwear, lace and felt (the latter can be replaced with felt).



The last 3 photos in this article show bottle vases made with decoupage. As we already wrote in our article, it is recommended to thin the decoupage paper with sandpaper or soak it in water before gluing it to the surface.

Good luck with your creativity!

Master class vase from bottles and toilet paper


Since we are using different bottles, they have different neck widths. Instead of a large bottle, you can take a tank and a 2 liter plastic bottle. After the blanks are ready, you need to see the shape of the vase. To do this, insert one neck into the other.



Take a tourniquet and glue it at the junction with polymer glue. The result is an original vase in the shape of a goblet, which resembles ancient vases. If you want to put a bouquet of flowers in such a vase, then think about how to make the bottom.

Vase made of plastic bottles and toilet paper can be used for decoration. It can be supplemented by artificial ones made
