The interior of a house or apartment is difficult to imagine without figures, pictures, vases, and other little things that make the room more beautiful and comfortable. Also, every woman can add zest, make the décor interesting and unique. Hand-made today is at the peak of its popularity. There are many training videos, photos, master classes with which you can easily make ordinary things the most unusual, using simple improvised means. So, we will tell you how you can decorate a vase with your own hands, what you need for this, and what result you can get.
Choosing a Vase for the Style of the Interior
Today you can buy a variety of vases – large, small, medium, round, square, asymmetrical, and so on. But how do you make the right choice? It should be noted that difficulties in choosing can arise when it comes to large or floor vases since they cannot fit beautifully and harmoniously into every interior. As for the small round vases, they will fit any interior. By decorating such small vases or filling them (with decorative stones, ribbons, twigs, flowers, etc.), you can complement the room’s interior. Such vases are placed on tables, shelves, window sills, cabinets – anywhere.
When choosing a large vase for a room (office), remember that this object carries not so much functional as a decorative and interior load. Also, do not forget that any interior item, including a vase, can help hide any flaws (if any), present the interior in the most favorable light. If the room is decorated, for example, in a strict classical style, then the vase should correspond to the interior – a strict form, the absence of bright paintings or flowers. Today, a very fashionable style of decorating Loft rooms.
Decoration Features
You can make the decor of a glass vase from various materials, from artificial flowers to pasta. Each type of decoration has its own characteristics, a technique of execution, and a degree of complexity. Interestingly, handmade does not exclude a creative approach, a combination of the most incongruous things. So, you can follow the instructions exactly, or you can add something of your own.
What do you need to know about Preparation?

The choice of technique (painting, beads, fabric, etc.).
- Preparation of all the necessary materials (twine, glue, beads, paints, twigs, etc. – depending on the type and technique of decoration).
- If you are a beginner and do not have Handmade practice, it will not be superfluous to prepare video or photographic materials with a step-by-step performance of the work.
- Well, that’s probably all. All that remains is to turn on your imagination, and you can start creating.
DIY Vase Décor
We will tell you in more detail about the most popular and affordable methods for decorating a vase.
Vase Decor with Stickers
This decor technique is perfect for beginners, as it does not require special skills. You can choose your favorite stickers for decorating glass vases in the store, find pictures on the Internet, and arrange something similar yourself. You can add rhinestones, beads, or threads to the stickers.
Filling the Vase
This is also one of the easiest techniques. But affordability and simplicity are combined with stylish and interesting décor. So, you can take around a vase for filling. Any material is taken for filling – lace, twigs, beads, pebbles, starfish, artificial flowers, etc. Filling a vase with pebbles or twigs and tying it on top with a thick thread or lace, you will make an excellent and very unusual vase.
Dyeing the Vase
This is a more complex type of decor. For staining, you will need permanent glass acrylic paint. If you decide to paint the product in one color (without drawings, color transitions, etc.), you need to do 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. Also, you will need a brush, a clean rag or towel, water, newspaper (film, paper), and solvent for coloring.
Otherwise, it can affect the quality of the staining. Also, before the process, it is necessary to decrease the vessel walls with a solvent. After waiting for complete drying after the solvent, it is necessary to pour the paint on the bottom of the vase and shake it in a circular motion. Thus, the paint itself will color the walls of the vessel. Then, it would help if you painted over the “gaps” with a brush without waiting for the paint to dry.
Vase Decor from Clothes
You can wear a vase, no matter how ridiculous and ridiculous it may sound. For “dressing,” an old sweater, jeans, T-shirts, etc., are taken. An old knitted or woolen sweater looks very stylish and original. You can complement this decor with a twig or thick thread (twine).
Decorating the Vase with Paper
The vase can be wrapped in beautiful paper by making a neat (or, conversely, careless) bow or knot in the middle or at the vessel’s neck.
Stained Glass Painting
Geometric shapes have always been in vogue. To beautifully paint a vase with stained glass figures, you do not need to be a brilliant draftsman. But for the composition to be neat and accurate, you need to adhere to the following step-by-step instructions:
- Initially, it is necessary to decrease the surface to be treated.
- After complete drying, the vase must be pasted over with tape.
- Next, place the vase on oilcloth or newspaper and paint over the areas not sealed with tape.
- And the last thing – you need to put the vase in the oven and warm it up at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Vase Decor with Fabric, Ribbon, and Flowers
This type of decor assumes the presence of these materials. How to decorate with beads, fabric, and ribbons is up to you. Also, for work, you will need threads, scissors, glue.
Decorating a Vase with Natural Material
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 a vase and for gluing them to a vessel. As a rule, a small vase is taken; a glass is also perfect. You can stick tree branches or cinnamon sticks on the walls, and on top, make a bow or knot with not too thick tape.
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. To fix the twine or thread on the surface of the vessel, PVA glue is usually taken. But some craftsmen also use “Glue-moment” or hot melt glue.
