Decorating a Vase All that happened before is only preparation, and now the real creative process of creating a vase begins. Follow these guidelines to properly stick tissue paper:
Tips and advice TIP number 1: Handling paper should be very careful - it is very thin and is easily torn. You also can’t be too slow: if the glue dries, a piece of paper will stick and may tear when you try to smooth it out. TIP number 2: Until the paper is completely dry, it may appear wrinkled. However, the small folds will dry out after drying, so do not try to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. TIP number 3: If you want to stick the paper around the neck, be prepared that in this place it will lie unevenly, and even after drying the surface will wrinkle. For the same reason, you should not use bottles of complex shapes for decoration in this technique.

Breathe in a second life in used glassbottles or glasses can be, not only turning them into a vase.

The diameter of the holes will be somewhat larger than that of the necks, this is necessary so that you can freely remove the bottles, change the water in them, wash them. Place this board on the bottles so thattheir necks got into the holes made. Now place the remaining 4 bottles on the second board, also keeping an equal distance between them. Place the third board on top. Circle the contours of the bottles on its bottom side, make holes.
- Disassemble the design, determine the center of all three boards.
- Glue round rails there.

How to draw even stripes TIP! Use a little trick to draw even stripes. Using a tape measure, mark a few points on the wall of the bottle, and then connect them by drawing a straight line and glue tape along it. Now you can paint: the lines will have a clear outline, and the paint will not enter the neighboring areas.
- Remember that after applying the paint will take time to dry. Only then can you start painting the next section.
- Prepare the paint, divide with the help of adhesive tape the area on which you will work (if the drawing has no background, but consists of various elements).
