How to make paper flower vase – step by step (Tutorial)
Who says a vase has to be glass? This decoupage paper vase is a fantastic way to upcycle an old jar or bottle into a beautiful piece of art. I remember making one with pages from an old book for a rustic wedding centerpiece—it was a total hit!
You’ll need: A clean glass jar/bottle, Mod Podge or white glue thinned with water, a foam brush, tissue paper or napkins with a pretty print, and scissors.
Prep Your Surface: Ensure your jar is clean and dry. Remove any labels.
Separate the Layers: If you’re using a napkin, carefully peel apart the layers. You only need the top, printed layer.
Tear, Don’t Cut: For the most organic and seamless look, tear your paper into small, irregular pieces and shapes. Cutting creates harsh lines that are harder to blend.
Apply & Seal: Using your foam brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to a small section of the jar. Place a piece of torn paper on it and gently brush more Mod Podge over the paper, working from the center out to smooth bubbles. Repeat, slightly overlapping pieces, until the entire surface is covered.
The Final Coat: Let it dry completely. Then, apply 2-3 more coats of Mod Podge over the entire vase, allowing each coat to dry in between. This seals it and gives it a durable, glossy finish.
Pro Tip: Recent DIY trends on TikTok (#NapkinArt) show creators using these vases as chic pen holders or bathroom organizers, proving it’s both pretty and practical!
