Plain Vase = Colorful Vase

Posted by lori . 6 Comments

Inspiration:

Creating Fantastic Vases by Suzanne J. E. Tourtillott – Pg 45 (Foolproof Tissue Decoupage)

Supplies:

Vase

Tissue Paper

Scissors

Decoupage

Sponge Applicator

1. Cut squares (or any shapes) from tissue paper.

2. Paint decoupage onto a small area and apply your base color tissue to the vase. Continue applying additional pieces, overlapping slightly, until the vase is covered.

3. Paint decoupage onto areas of the background layer where you want to place another color and shape of tissue.

4. Give the vase a final coat of decoupage and let dry completely. Now you have a vase that exactly matches your mood or decor.

  Thank you, Michelle. I think the fish head plaques will have to make an appearance in a future blog post.

  Thank you, Sherry. I think this would be a great project for kids too. It’s inexpensive and they can make the design as complex or simple as they want.
