I began with napkins, cut outs from magazines and calendars. |
First, I glued some of the cut outs on the outside with the face of the picture turned toward the inside of the vase. I then added sparkles using glitter nail polish.
Gluing the pictures from the calendar face down on the vase from the outside. |
This is how the vase looks from inside. |
After the glued pictures dried, I painted the entire vase with white chalk paint.
Additional cutouts to be placed randomly on top of the napkins. |
The finished vase
The same gluing method for the napkins and cutouts was used. After drying, the entire vase was sprayed with a clear sealer.
Gold washi tape was used around the bottom and top. NOT A GOOD CHOICE. I removed the tape later. Since this is my first attempt, I'm pleased. I'll use gold, bronze or silver leaf in the future for rim and base if I want sparkle.
While this vase can hold water inside, it is not completely waterproof on the outside even with the sealant.
That's it ***
