Recycled Ombre Vase

Recycled Ombre Vase - paint brushes in the vaseI like making vases and cupholders from plastic bottles. Cutting and placing the neck of the bottle upside down into the base of the bottle makes it so you can fill the vase without it tipping over. Simply place your pens or flowers in the middle and they will center by weight. The textured look is made by ripping up paper napkins and gluing them on. I love ombre looks so I used two paint colours to achieve this blue gradient.

  7. Unfold a paper napkin or two so it's 1-ply. Rip into pieces.

  9. This is where we start decoupaging. Paint dabs of the glue mixture onto the bottle and attach single layers of the napkin pieces.

  15. Paint your darker colour on the bottom half using a tap-dabbing motion with your brush so you can fill in all the textured crevices.
