How to make a paper vase with your own hands
You can completely make a paper vase at home using papier-mâché or origami techniques. But for this you need to have certain skills, and this is not suitable for everyone. And be sure to keep in mind that only decorative flowers can be placed in a vase made of cardboard or paper, because the product will become unusable from water.
To make a paper vase, you can use any transparent container such as an old can or a used bottle. To give them a beautiful look, glue the surface with corrugated paper of the selected color or wrap it with colored cardboard and decorate with matching ribbons.

How to make a do-it-yourself cardboard vase
For work we stock up:
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue;
- paperclips;
- tape;
- coffee beans, nutshells, pistachios (for decoration).
We take any large box, lay it out on the floor or on the table and draw a diagram on it (Fig. 1). Then we cut out the shape and fold the vase out of cardboard, fixing the corners with tape. Carefully glue each fold so that the vase does not fall apart. If necessary, glue the outside of the product with paper, wrapping it inward and fixing it with paper clips.
It's time for decor. Of course, it is difficult to calculate how many decorative elements you will need to decorate a homemade vase, but in the process of work you will figure it out and, if necessary, buy the missing amount of details. So, smear each piece with glue and, starting from the bottom of the vase, begin to glue it carefully. At the same time, try to keep as little empty space as possible between the elements. The result should be a vase, as shown in the picture.
Do not forget to process the upper part of the product in a similar way from the inside. Everything, the vase is ready to decorate your home!

In fact, apart from double-sided colored paper and following the instructions exactly, nothing is needed! In addition, origami is a great way to develop fine motor skills, imagination and logic.
A simple paper vase is useful for storing office supplies, and you can also put a vessel with water and flowers in it.
So, let's get to work. We take a square of colored paper and bend it diagonally, after which we unfold it and do the same with the opposite diagonal (see Figures 1-3). Then it is necessary to fold the sheet in the form of a rhombus and iron the lines along which we will then bend the part (see Fig. 4-6).
Now we bend the left and right corners, turn the part over and repeat the steps with the remaining corners. After that, we unbend the central corner, lowering it to the middle, and bend the left corner. Then you need to turn the workpiece and repeat the manipulations: bend the corners to the center and along the marked lines. The lowest corner is unfolded and unbent: this is necessary for the stability of the vase.
In more detail, the procedure can be considered on the provided step-by-step diagram with images. Connoisseurs say that it is unlikely that you will be able to make a beautiful vase using origami the first time, because the work is painstaking and requires some skills, so it is better to try on unnecessary pieces of paper.
If desired, the vase is decorated by applying touches of glue to the surface and filling them with colored semolina, sparkles, rhinestones or beads.

We take a plastic bottle of any color, hold it over the fire to bend it: this must be done while the plastic is hot. After cooling, we take a soldering iron and drill a large number of holes of the same diameter in a chaotic manner. Everything, our vase is ready!
You can take an ordinary plastic bottle and sew a case out of felt or an old sweater on it. This decor is great for decorating a country interior.
A plastic bottle or a box of chips can also be transformed beyond recognition by pasting over the surface with stones or shells.
The most elementary way to decorate a plastic bottle is to wrap it with printed tissue paper or colored tape, and then decorate it with a matching bow.
You can also wrap the bottle with colored threads or rope.
