Choosing a vase for the interior style

These vases put on the tables, shelves, window sills, cabinets - wherever you go.
When choosing a large vase for a room (office), remember that this item carries not so much a functional as decorative and interior load. Also do not forget that any interior item, including a vase, can help to hide any flaws (if any), to present the interior in the most favorable light. If the room is decorated, for example, in a strict classical style, then the vase must match the interior - a strict form, the absence of bright paintings or colors.

DIY Vase Decoration
We will tell you more about the most popular and affordable methods for decorating a vase.
Vase Decor Stickers
This decor technique is perfect for beginners, as it does not require special skills. In the store, you can choose your favorite stickers for decorating glass vases, find pictures on the Internet and independently design something similar. Rhinestones, beads or threads can be added to the labels.
Filling the vase
It is also one of the easiest techniques. But accessibility and simplicity are combined with stylish and interesting decor. So, for filling, you can take a round vase. Any filling material is taken - lace, twigs, beads, pebbles, starfish, artificial flowers, etc. Having filled a vase with pebbles or twigs, and tied with a thick thread or lace on top, you will make an excellent and very unusual vase.
Coloring
This is a more complex type of decor. For painting, you will need a durable acrylic paint for glass. If you decide to paint the product in one color (without pictures, color transition, etc.), it is necessary to carry out the work from the inside. They take an ordinary glass vase without drawings (round, square, small, large - the shape and size do not matter) and paint its walls from the inside. You will also need a brush, a clean rag or towel, water, a newspaper (film, paper), and a solvent for dyeing.
Otherwise, it may affect the quality of staining. Also before the process it is necessary to degrease the vessel wall with a solvent. After waiting for complete drying after the solvent, it is necessary to pour paint on the bottom of the vase and shake it in a circular motion. Thus, the paint itself will paint the walls of the vessel. Then, without waiting for the paint to dry, you need to paint the “gaps” with a brush.
Clothes decor
You can wear a vase, no matter how ridiculous and absurd it may sound. An old sweater, jeans, T-shirts, etc. are taken for “dressing”. An old knitted or woolen sweater looks very stylish and original. It is possible to add such decor with a sprig or a thick thread (twine).
Paper decoration
The vase can be wrapped in beautiful paper, making a neat (or, on the contrary, careless) bow or knot in the middle, or at the neck of the vessel.
Piqué technique
This is the name of the technique of hand-painted painting. At what, it can be like bright flowers with a detailed transfer of texture and shades. It can also be stylish geometry - straight lines or zigzags, for example. The second option is simpler, so it is perfect for beginners. You will need masking tape, acrylic paint, or paint in cylinders. By sticking the masking tape so that the uncovered areas draw the lines that you want to paint over, you protect the rest of the surface from inadvertent paint. For such a painting, usually taken black, white, silver or gold paint.
Dot painting, when multi-colored patterns appear in small dots on a vase, is much more complicated. To work you need acrylic paint, ear sticks, toothpicks, newspaper, solvent. The vase must be rinsed, dried, degreased and then dried again. Then you can get to work. The points are applied with acrylic paint from thin tubes. Ear sticks or toothpicks adjust the picture. The location and distance between the points depends on the figure, which eventually should turn out. As a rule, each line becomes staggered.
Stained glass painting
Geometric shapes have always been in fashion. In order to beautifully paint a vase with stained-glass figures, one does not need to be a brilliant draftsman. But to make the composition neat and accurate, you need to follow the following step-by-step instructions:
- Initially, it is necessary to degrease the treated surface.
- After complete drying, the vase must be pasted over with adhesive tape.
- Next, put the vase on the oilcloth or newspaper and paint over the areas not stuck with adhesive tape.
- And the last thing - you need to put the vase in the oven and heat it at 150 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Vase decor with cloth, ribbons and beads
This type of decor requires the availability of these materials. How to decorate with beads, fabrics and ribbons - it's up to you. Also for the work you need thread, scissors, glue.
Decoupage
Decoupage is a decoration technique using paper. A sheet of paper is cut into small pieces (squares, triangles) and pasted on a vase. For example, you can tear out a sheet from a note book, cut it, and stick it on a vase. It turns out that the notes are arranged in an absolutely chaotic order.
Decoration of a vase with natural material
The natural material includes twigs, tree bark, cinnamon sticks, cloves, dried berries or flower petals, and so on. Such materials can be taken both for filling the vase and for sticking them on the vessel. As a rule, a small vase is taken, a glass is also perfect. On the walls, you can stick sprigs of wood or cinnamon sticks, and on top of this you can make a bow or knot with a not too thick ribbon.
Decorating a vase with twine or thread
Twine is an ideal material for decorating vases, bottles and other small decorative elements. It can also be combined with other materials: buttons, fabric, rhinestones, artificial flowers. In order to fix the string or thread on the surface of the vessel, PVA glue is usually taken. But some craftsmen also use "glue-moment" or hot melt glue.
Decor vases of lace and ribbons
No less popular and original way to decorate a vase is the decor of lace and fabric. To work with such materials do not need to have any special skills. Most people just search for ideas on the Internet and bring them to life. To do this, they use ready-made laces and fabrics of various colors and shades bought at the store.
Pasta Vase Decoration
As practice shows, pasta is not only a tasty product, but also a rather original way to decorate a vase or any other piece of furniture. You will need regular store macaroni, hot melt glue and spray paint.
To do this, we recommend to go online and see the possible decor options from experienced craftsmen. Next, attach the pasta with glue in the same order as in the picture and wait until it is completely dry. And the third stage is painting.
Stylish plastic bottle vases
90% of citizens of our country after using plastic bottles simply throw them in the trash, believing that they can not bring any more good. But it is not so. Creative people often use bottles as materials to create their masterpieces. This also applies to VAZ.
Masters often use the same decoration techniques as for ordinary glass vases: natural materials, fabric, beads, rhinestones, lace, and so on.
But there are also more complex techniques, when the master produces more complex manipulations for the realization of his ideas:
- heats the bottle to change its shape;
- cuts it and glues parts from different bottles and more.
It is enough to have a little patience and a desire to create. Vase, decorated by you personally, will be the most original element of the decor.
