How to make a flower vase out of cardboard.

Yes, you can make a vase from cardboard! It’s perfect for holding lightweight artificial flowers or as a chic pen holder. I made a hexagonal one for my desk, and it’s surprisingly sturdy.

Step-by-Step:

Cut Shapes: Cut 6 identical rectangles from sturdy cardboard for the sides and a hexagon for the base.

Assemble the Sides: Glue the long edges of the rectangles together to form a hexagonal tube. Use masking tape on the inside seams for extra strength.

Attach the Base: Glue your hexagon base to the bottom of the tube.

Finish: Decorate with paint, washi tape, or by gluing on twine or fabric. For a waterproof interior, insert a glass jar or plastic cup to hold water and real flowers.

It’s a testament to how you can create beautiful things from materials you already have.
