Renovating a room is an exciting and time-consuming activity. But no matter how ideal the result is, without decorative elements the apartment will seem “not alive”, empty and cold.

Large vases fill voids perfectly. Corners, partitions, niches, alcoves and shelves will be an excellent platform for installing these items. Vases installed in the space under stairs or in the openings of false fireplaces look stylish.

Experts advise adhering to the rule: the larger the vessel, the larger free space he needs to provide. Otherwise, the beautiful vase may get lost behind massive pieces of furniture.

Harmonious ensembles or compositions of two or more floor decorations are able to share your square meters to independent functional areas. Tall and narrow vases will visually elongate the space. Lush, large bouquets are not suitable for them.

In a pair, you can choose a single sakura flower, exotic branches of reeds, bamboo, dry cereals, or even one large leaf of a plant on a long stem. If the accessory is bright enough and richly decorated, then the bouquet may be an unnecessary component.

A vase can create an atmosphere of celebration and celebration. Before the New Year or Christmas, install fir branches in it, decorated with pine cones, ribbons, and toys. On the eve of Easter, place willow branches. This will give the room an aura of magic and bring joy to the household.

An effective point in completing the design can be a vessel, the color of which harmoniously combines with other decors: carpet, rug, sofa cushions or a photo frame. Unusual use some vases - a base for table lamp or a floor lamp.

Everyone knows that a bouquet of flowers in a beautiful vase is a wonderful decoration for a table or home space in general. But, unfortunately, it is not always possible to buy a vase that suits your interior. At the same time, it’s not at all difficult to find a very simple, inexpensive glass container or even a bottle and decorate it the way you want.

The process is creative and exciting, because modern decorative and Decoration Materials allow you to turn any ordinary vessel into a masterpiece. Special paints, contours on glass, and napkins for decoupage come to the aid of craftswomen. Needlewomen do not limit themselves special materials, but use the most unexpected things for decoration, such as: plaster bandages, cereals, pasta, jute twine, dry fruits and skeletonized leaves.

So the craftswoman Ann got the idea to decorate the vase in some unusual way, this is what she writes on her blog: “I had been chasing this idea in my head for a long time, some time passed and I finally decided to do it. I kept thinking about how I could get three-dimensional image on a vase, jar, box or even canvas. I didn’t like the options associated with cutting out shapes from foam plastic and gluing them to the base, and I also didn’t like the option of buying voluminous stickers. All this, in my opinion, required a lot of effort or investment Money, I knew there was an easier way. And this is what I came up with..."

So, to decorate a vase you will need:

• suitable glass vessel,
• glue gun,
• drawing for transfer to a vase,
• tissue paper or thin cloth,
• alcohol-containing liquid
• acrylic paint,
• acrylic lacquer.

Step 1. To implement her idea, the author found this container at a sale, which cost her fifty cents. Take your glass vase and treat it with alcohol.

Step 2. Find a design or design that suits your vase. The craftswoman used the pattern on her favorite cap as a template.

Step 3. Transfer the pattern onto the paper and fold the paper to make sure it is symmetrical and find the center of the pattern as shown in the photo. Attach the drawing to the desired location.

Step 4: Fill the pattern with hot glue. If in the process of work you accidentally went beyond the boundaries of the pattern, it’s okay; the hot glue can be easily cleaned up with a knife when it has cooled.

Step 5. Take tissue paper, remember it, and tear it into squares no larger than 6*6 cm. You can also use thin fabric for these purposes.

Step 6. Place scraps of fabric or scraps of paper on the vase and glue them with PVA glue. Do this very carefully, try not to tear the paper. Cover the entire vase, smoothing out excess folds with your fingers. Dry the resulting relief.

Step 7. To smooth the relief and give it integrity, coat the vessel with PVA glue one more time.

Step 7. After this layer of glue has dried, use a foam sponge to tint the vase with light acrylic paint. At this stage, the craftswoman asks if you see the laughing face of a guy with a small mustache on the vase? Lush eyebrows, curled mustache? A goatee on your chin? She wants you to see this laughing Frenchman, she will be very pleased if you have the same rich fantasy like hers.

Step 8. After the layer of light paint has dried, take a soft brush and paint in a contrasting color. The needlewoman used black, you may want to use Umber or some other color that best suits your interior. Make sure your brush is almost dry before applying paint. It's better to put too little paint on your brush than too much. But even if it happens that you applied too much dark paint, do not be discouraged, let the paint dry and paint over the dark spot with the light paint that was used earlier.

Step 9. After the paint has dried, cover the entire surface acrylic varnish. Ann really likes the result, she thinks that it turned out very rustic. As the craftswoman’s father, an engineer by profession, says: “If you can’t make it look perfect, emphasize its imperfection.”
