Are you looking for an easy & fun craft project to do with the kids? If so, we would like to share with all of you how we took a dime store glass vase and turned it into a pretty vase that you will be proud to put on display in your own home.
This is a great project to do with kids and you only need a few supplies to make one. It is also a great way to re-purpose all of that colored tissue paper you have around your house. (we used red, medium pink, light pink and white tissue paper on our vase).
Craft Project: Decoupage Flower Vase for Spring
Supplies Needed:
* Clear glass flower vase
* Foam craft brushes
* Glossy Decoupage medium
* Scraps of colored tissue paper
* One vial of clear or colored “fine grade” glitter
* Newspapers and paper towels
Wash and dry your glass vase. Lay newspaper down on your work surface (we recommend a few layers of newspaper). Rip your scraps of colored tissue paper into odd shaped small pieces and set aside.
Take your foam brush and dip it into the Decoupage medium and brush a thin layer of the Decoupage along one side of your glass vase. Randomly place your ripped pieces of tissue paper onto the glass vase to cover up the areas that you brushed with the Decoupage and make sure you overlap your pieces of tissue paper. It is best to work small areas at a time and then repeat this process until your glass vase is completely covered.
Let the vase dry for 8-10 hours (or overnight). The next day you want to brush a thin layer of Decoupage over the top of the tissue paper pieces on the vase. (being careful to make it as smooth as possible). Once you have the vase covered sprinkle small amounts of fine grade glitter on top. Let the vase dry for 24 hours before using it.
Note: You can completely omit the glitter step if desired. We like our things sparkly around here so we added the glitter.
