Making the vase body
The next day the epoxy hardened. Both jars and saucer were tightly glued to each other. Now it was possible to cover its surface with a mass prepared from soaked pallets.
I wrung out the moisture from the trays soaked in water, then began to gradually pour PVA glue into them and immediately stir the mass with my hands until it turned out to be a homogeneous thick porridge.

I applied this paste in an even layer on the outer surface of the jars. I also covered the dish with the slurry, which now became the bottom of the vase.
The base had to dry well before decorative elements were applied to its surface. And after this happened, I covered the surface of the future vase with alabaster putty and carefully leveled it. Now we could start decorating it.

DIY glass bottle vase: master class (painting and stained glass techniques)
One of the simplest methods that gives spectacular results is the use of paint. Gold, silver or any other will do. Metallic or pearlescent shades will look more impressive.
The easiest way to apply pigment is from a spray can, however, you can use the composition from a jar or tube. It is not always convenient to do this with a brush, as it can result in streaks and unevenness. It is better to use a sponge or a regular sponge. Suitable for work. You can apply several layers with the previous one drying first.
Varnish is perfect as a finishing touch. It creates a moisture-resistant glossy surface. Shine increases with each additional application. It is better to use more layers than to increase the thickness of each.
If you are good with a brush and have a set of several flowers, you can make a vase with patterns. If you use acrylic, the paint layer will be opaque. The pigments in them are quite bright and after application they retain the transparency of the surface, however, it is not always good to work with them on a colored bottle. It is worth remembering that a special contour is usually sold along with stained glass paints, which can be used to outline parts of the pattern so that the paint does not spread beyond the boundaries of the form.
Multicolored vase
You will need: glass jar, newspaper, acrylic paints of 3 colors.
Master Class
- Spread the newspaper on the table.
- Turn the jar upside down.
- Slowly pour paint into the bottom of the can so that it drips down the sides.
- Leave for two days to dry completely.

Decorative elements
For decoration I made angels, leaves and roses.
So, I diluted a little alabaster (I used alabaster putty) to a thick sour cream, poured the composition into the mold and left it to harden. The degree of hardening can be checked with a fingernail (if the surface is hard, you can remove it). The frozen figurine was taken out of the mold, diluted with a new solution and poured into the next figurine. I got 4 alabaster angels and leaves.

I powdered the bodies and faces of the angels with dark powder, tinted their hair, and made eyes and lips. As a result, they began to look almost lifelike.
I made roses from the pulp left over from covering the body of the vase. After they were completely dry, I painted them with white, pink and blue acrylic paint.
Once the paint was dry, I sponged some gold acrylic paint on them. By the way, I decorated the angels on the leaves in the same color.

Decorating the finished product
Decorating a finished accessory will require knowledge of basic stylistic skills, without which it is difficult to make it appropriate in a particular interior. Today, fashion trends are aimed at a combination of conciseness and functionality. The decor should be minimal; it is important that, despite its apparent simplicity, the product looks status, impressive and professional, as if it had been purchased in an expensive store. Therefore, you need to approach the issue of decoration especially carefully.
Depending on the type of material used and the technique for making a floor vase, you can use the following to decorate it:
- mosaics, including homemade ones made from multi-colored tiles and mirrors;
- flat buttons of different sizes and shapes;
- coins;
- coarse salt;
- cereals, sunflower and pumpkin seeds;
- dry branches of different lengths and curvature;
- cuttings of branches;
- twine;
- tree bark;
- newspaper tubes;
- stationery erasers;
- bracelets made of beads on a rubber thread;
