For those who want to change the interior of their home, we provide good opportunity– DIY vase decor. Every home has dishes, tall glasses, old vases, any suitable containers that you want to update and make more interesting. If you sort through various options, then you will certainly find an interesting master class made from accessible, inexpensive materials. We have several master classes - the choice is yours!
Today we will create and decorate a vase. The new vase will be in a marine style; such original products make the house unique and cozy. Despite the storms outside your windows, your home will always have peace and its own warm atmosphere.
To work you will need:
- Any suitable containers (glasses, vases, glass and iron jars, and so on).
- Rope or thick string.
- Fabric dye (you can take dyes for easter eggs or simple greenery).
- PVA glue.
- Scissors.
Let's start decorating with a round vase. To do this we need ropes of the same length. Draw a glue line in the middle of the container and glue the ends of the ropes. The ropes should completely cover the vase, leaving no gaps. We wait for the glue to harden and begin to weave a “braid”, as in the photo. We finish weaving and cut off the excess. Glue the ends of the “braid” onto the vase. To neatly hide the ends of the braid, you can glue additional decor made from rope.
Next, we will decorate the glass cylinder. To do this, you need to glue the ends of the ropes to our vase. They should be longer than the container (then we’ll cut off the excess). Pieces of rope in length slightly higher than the vase, and one long rope for decoration. Thread the rope in a staggered pattern through the 4 ropes. Glue is used at the bottom, middle, and top. We glue 1 rope at the top and bottom.
And the last option is decor with coloring. Take a similar container and apply glue to the surface, try to apply more at the top and bottom. We wind the rope around the vase, pulling it harder. Next, dilute the paint, or a drop of greenery, in a jar of water. First, the coloring liquid should cover ⅓ of our vase. We lower the vase into the water and hold it for a short time. You will see for yourself how ⅓ of the vase will be painted. We take it out, wait for the product to dry a little, add water to ⅔. We lower the vase again. The tone on top will be lighter. So a beautiful thing for the interior is ready.
These are the stylish vases for the interior.
A great idea for decorating glass glasses is to make a vintage flower vase out of the glass. Using a heat gun with silicone glue, we will make a three-dimensional design on the vase. The master class is very simple, in this way you can decorate not only a vase, but also flower pots, bottles, decanters, and so on. And if you do everything in one color, you’ll get a cool ensemble for the interior.
To work you will need:
- Glass glass or vase.
- Light acrylic paint.
- PVA glue.
- Glue gun.
- Dark (black or gray) acrylic paint.
- Sponge or brush.
- Napkins or rice paper.
- First, we select a vintage stencil.
We transfer the desired design onto paper and secure the paper with the design inside the glass with tape. Draw lines on the outside of the glass.
Take a glue gun and fill the entire inner surface drawing. Don’t be afraid to smear the glue; after drying, it can be easily removed with a regular knife. Next, take napkins or thin paper and tear them into pieces.
Then we glue pieces of paper or napkins onto the surface with PVA glue. Use a brush or sponge. After the surface has dried, we coat the top of our product with light acrylic paint.
At the end of the master class, for the final decoration, we paint over the vase with a dry brush and black or dark acrylic paint. We coat the top with varnish. The master class on interior decoration is over.
Making original vases for the interior with your own hands from ordinary simple products is tempting and interesting. The master class is very simple and inexpensive. If you don’t have glass containers of this type, you can decorate any jar or bottle in this way. Vases decorated in this way are light and embossed.
To work you will need:
- Glass or plastic containers.
- Glue gun.
- Spray paint.
Before work, you need to degrease the surface of the vases; we do this with any alcohol-containing liquid. Let's do it with a glue gun geometric shapes: triangles, squares, lines. They don't have to be the right shape, it's handmade. After the glue has dried, we begin painting the products with spray paint. If necessary, repeat painting after drying.
Next, we place round vases on top of long containers. Glue the vases together with a glue gun. These vases are perfect for decorating a living room. The combination of vases of different shapes will look very interesting in the interior. The master class is over.
And finally, the most complex decor, but very interesting - dot painting of vases. We offer a small master class. This is done with contour or acrylic paints. Dots are placed using a contour, a toothpick, a needle, or a cotton swab. Paints for painting can be bought in art stores or online stores.
This decor is one of the most complex and time-consuming. The most important thing is to try so that the dots do not merge. Very beautiful products are obtained on a black background. That is, a vase or bottle made of dark glass is best option for work. But look at how beautiful and unique the products are.
How else can you use glass or other containers for decoration? Interesting option: using twigs, pencils, or cocktail straws. All this can be secured with glue or double tape.
You can wear vases with leggings or black tights. Decorating is very simple: cut off the bottom or middle piece from the leggings; it should be longer than the vase. We stretch the lycra onto a glass vase and secure the bottom with a needle and thread. We simply tuck the top edge inward. You can secure it inside with transparent tape.
Glass or ceramic vases, hand-painted with acrylic paints, will make a wonderful wedding gift. They will also be a special piece of decor that will decorate your home. Glass painting can be complex or very simple.
Double stroke technique
Half the brush should be dipped in one color, and the other half in the second. Using one brush, two colors are applied simultaneously. The optimal combination is brown and white.
If you brush across the surface of the vase, the brushstroke will be two-color. In this case, the transition of colors will be smooth.
You need to put paint on a brush and apply the design to the paper first. In this case, the brush will lie horizontally in relation to the image. Next you need to draw a straight line.
When the lines are drawn, you will get an unusual weaving pattern. The lines must be drawn alternately - vertical, then horizontal. All lines are drawn in a checkerboard pattern.
When you make test strokes, you will be able to understand what thickness of paint will be optimal. You will also understand how well the paint will adhere and whether you will like the drawing in the end. If everything is good, then you can go to work.
Let's move on to painting
You need to wash the brush and blot it with a napkin. The paint should be put on a brush and proceed to directly applying the pattern to the vase.
When painting, do not forget that the color must be pure. After each couple of strokes, the brush must be washed and blotted using a napkin. Only in this case can you achieve beauty and clarity of color transitions.
Once the painting is completed, the piece should sit for approximately two hours to allow the image to dry thoroughly. The glass vase is dried in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Then wait for the vase to cool in the oven. After this, it is washed and varnished (colorless).
As a result, you will be able to create a truly luxurious item that will bring you joy or will be an excellent gift for family and friends.
This option is much more interesting than the usual plain background.
If desired, you can decorate vases with acrylic paints. You just have to want and try for everything to work out.
Painting idea for beginners
To create such a stylish and at the same time laconic decor, you do not need the ability to draw. Zigzags, intersecting lines or stripes can be easily created using regular masking tape.
You need to purchase acrylic paint in spray form, a brush, tape and regular nail polish remover, and cotton swabs.
First, degrease the vase well using any degreaser. Then you need to wait for the surface to dry. Next, you should cover it with tape according to the traditional stencil principle.
You will achieve an unusual effect if you cover the vase with small-width tape.
You should place the vase on the newspaper and begin carefully painting those areas that remain unpasted. For more clear lines the drawing needs to go a little onto the tape.
After this, you should wait until the paint dries completely. Each paint has its own drying time. You need to rely on what is indicated on the packaging. Spray versions dry very quickly. Acrylic paints require baking. To do this, place the vase in the oven for a quarter of an hour. The temperature should be 150 degrees. Naturally, the product will dry for a maximum of 4 hours.
You can find a lot on the Internet unusual ideas in order to beautifully decorate a vase with your own hands. Such simple decor will be a worthy decoration for any celebration.
Let's talk about some nuances
To paint a vase with acrylic paints, you need to be patient and allocate a certain amount of time for this work. It’s easy to fantasize and bring your ideas to life if you know exactly what you ultimately want to get.
Painting is a rather labor-intensive process. It is important to do everything carefully and not to rush. If the vase is floor-standing, then painting will require even more effort and time. But if you use masking tape as a handy stencil, you can decorate it quickly enough.
It is necessary to approach the choice of paints that match the color very carefully. Unusual shades: silver, gold, pastel, copper, black and white will turn a completely unremarkable glass vase into a luxurious piece of designer decor.
Secrets of dot painting
If you are not looking for easy ways and want to decorate a vase with a rather intricate pattern, you can start mastering the dot painting technique. Another name for it is pique.
You need to prepare acetone or alcohol and cotton swabs. With their help you will degrease the surface. For painting, you should purchase excellent quality acrylic paints and a small synthetic brush, toothpick or cotton swab.
First, degrease the vase and wait until it dries. Dot painting specialists immediately apply a specific design to the vase. They don't make any preliminary sketches. They are characterized by virtuoso improvisation right during the creative process. If you are a novice decorator, be sure to first outline the contours of the design that you will create.
In order to quickly transfer an image onto a vase made of opaque material, you can use a soft, simple pencil. You should print or draw a picture in the desired size. After this, you should simply cut it out and place it image down on a sheet of paper. After this, you need to paint over the wrong side of the drawing with a pencil. You should cover the entire area of the picture as generously as possible. Next, you should take the tape and use it to attach the picture to the vase so that the wrong side of it is adjacent to the vase. Next, the contours of the drawing are drawn. A blunt pencil is used for this. There will be a sketch on the surface. The work will become much easier.
To paint a glass vase, you just need to draw or print a sketch. Glue it on the back side.
When choosing a design for a vase with a transparent surface, it is worth remembering that the images and patterns will intersect with each other. The main drawing should be placed on one side. On the other side it is good to apply background painting.
Before you start painting on a vase, you need to learn how to put dots of the same size on paper. In this case, you should draw them at equal intervals. It should be exactly such that the points are clearly distinguished, but at the same time create a single background line.
The contours should be tested to ensure they are thick and fluid. You also need to prepare a needle in order to clean the spout. A cotton swab will allow you to correct a failed drawing.
If applying a dotted image directly from a tube is difficult for you, you can use acrylic paints. Points of different sizes will allow you to install various available means. This is an eraser located on a pencil, a needle, a toothpick, a cotton swab, a small brush or its blunt end.
Painting in Greek style
A Greek style clay jug is perfect for this type of work. You will also need excellent quality acrylic paints.
Initially, the drawing is created on paper. And then applied with a pencil to the vase.
After this you can move on to coloring. The neck should be made a transition. You need to brush over the dark. In this case, light paint is used. It remains to be shaded.
Under the pattern, the background will be light, and the rest of the vase will be dark. This way you will achieve contrast.
The lines of the pattern are outlined in red. A thin brush must be used.
Next, you can move on to dot-type painting. To even out existing shortcomings, the line is circled on both sides with dots.
Initially, the outline is made red, and then gold is added to this color.
With these contours you need to make points along all existing lines. In order to tone down too toxic orange, you can mix it with purple. As a result, the colors will be less bright. For extra beauty, you can add gold dots at the end. As a result, you will be able to create real splendor with your own hands.
Painting with acrylic paints allows you to create your own. You will be able to fantasize and bring your wildest ideas to life. To do this, you need to stock up on imagination, and you will definitely succeed.
Glass or ceramic vases, painted and decorated by yourself, can be an excellent gift, wedding decoration or decorative item for your home. Hand painting on glass/ceramics, depending on the desired design and technique, can be either complex, requiring skills, or very simple, accessible to beginners.
Master class No. 1: Stylish geometry for beginners
To create such a laconic and stylish decor You don’t need to be able to draw vases yourself – you can create smooth and neat stripes, zigzags and intersecting lines using masking tape.
You will need: spray paint, acrylic or stained glass paint for glass and ceramics, a brush (a synthetic brush is suitable for acrylic paints, a natural one for stained glass), masking tape (preferably of different widths), as well as nail polish remover or alcohol to degrease the surface, cotton pads and swabs.
Drawing technique:
- Degrease a ceramic or glass vase with a cotton pad and any degreaser;
- As soon as the surface is dry, we cover the vase with tape using the stencil principle, for example, as shown in these photos (scroll to the right).
Tip: a very beautiful effect can be achieved by covering the vase with narrow tape as shown below.
- We place the vase on the newspaper and begin to carefully paint over the untaped areas and the bottom, going over the tape so that the edges of the design on the vase are clear. This master class uses spray paint, but you can use acrylic or stained glass paints, and also add contours to the drawing.
- Now we just have to wait for the paints to dry completely. The drying time for all paints is different, so you need to focus on the manufacturer’s instructions. Spray paints dry very quickly and do not require baking, but acrylic and stained glass paints, as a rule, can be baked by placing the vase in the oven for 15 minutes at 150 degrees, or allowed to dry naturally for 2-4 hours.
For your inspiration, we have selected the most beautiful ideas decorating vases with your own hands using tape. Take a look at the photo below - this simple decor can decorate even the most elegant wedding.
Floor vases are very large, and therefore hand painting on them is a long and labor-intensive task, but by using tape as a stencil you can decorate them as quickly as possible.
Be careful when choosing paint colors. Unusual shades, for example, gold, silver, copper, pastel, as well as white and black, will immediately turn an ordinary glass or ceramic vase into a designer decorative item.
Master class No. 2: Dot painting of a vase
For those who are not looking for easy ways and want to decorate a vase with a more complex design, we suggest mastering the dot painting technique, which is also called pique or point-to-point.
You will need: alcohol or acetone, cotton pads and sticks for degreasing and correcting the drawing, and for drawing, prepare high-quality contour paints, for example, from Marabu or Decola. You can also use acrylic paints and a small synthetic brush, cotton swab or toothpick.
Drawing technique:
- First you need to degrease the vase and wait for it to dry.
- Masters of dot painting can apply a design to a vase without the help of sketches, masterfully improvising in the creative process. But for novice decorators, it is better to first outline the contours of the desired design.
- You can transfer the picture to an opaque vase using a soft a simple pencil: print or draw a picture in a suitable size, cut it out, and place it on another sheet of paper face down, and then carefully paint over the underside of the piece of paper with the drawing with a pencil. Your task is to generously cover the entire area of the picture with the stylus. Now you should attach and secure with tape the leaf with the painted reverse side to the vase, and then draw the contours of the drawing with the same pencil (preferably blunt) as shown in the photo on the right. This way, a barely noticeable sketch will remain on the surface, which will make your work easier;
- To paint a glass vase, just print or draw an auxiliary sketch by hand, and then glue it on the back side.
Tip: when choosing a pattern for a transparent vase, remember that the patterns or images on its walls will intersect with each other. Therefore, it is better to place the main drawing on one side of the vase, and apply a background, that is, unobtrusive painting, to the rest of it.
- Before you start painting vases, practice placing dots of the same size on paper, maintaining an equal interval, which should be such that the dots are distinguishable, but at the same time form a single unbroken line.
Test all contours - they should not be liquid or thick. Also prepare a needle for cleaning the tube spout and a cotton swab for correcting a failed pattern.
If applying a dotted image straight from the tube seems difficult to you or you don’t have contour paints, no problem, use acrylic paints. Dots of different sizes can be placed using available tools - a pencil eraser, a toothpick, a needle, a cotton swab, a small brush and even its blunt end as shown in the photo.
- When the drawing is completed, place the vase in the oven to bake according to the manufacturer's recommendations. As a rule, paints dry completely after 24-72 hours naturally or by baking in the oven for 30 minutes at 170 degrees (if you used baked contours). Of course, large floor vases that do not fit in the oven should be dried naturally.
Ideas for decorating a ceramic vase can be gleaned from the following selection of photos.
Here are examples of dot painting on glass.
Master class No. 3: Stained glass painting of a glass vase
Contours can be drawn not only using the dot technique - in combination with stained glass paints, hand-painted vases can imitate stained glass.
You will need: degreaser, cotton pads and swabs, contours, stained glass paints, a natural brush, as well as an auxiliary sketch, printed or drawn with your own hands (if necessary).
Tip: stained glass paints come in different bases. To paint a vase, paints based on alcohol or water are suitable. Also keep in mind that non-bake paints must be fixed with a special varnish for stained glass painting. This option is more suitable for decorating a large floor vase that will not fit in the oven; in other cases, it is better to buy baked paints.
Drawing technique:
- Degrease the glass;
- Secure the sketch from inside the vase;
- Starting from the far side of the drawing, draw closed contours, adjusting the lines if necessary. Then let the contours dry for about 2 hours. A hairdryer or baking in the oven for 15 minutes (150 degrees) will help speed up the process;
- Now you need to fill the contours with paint, spreading it evenly with a brush. Stained glass paints are fluid and liquid - you need to get used to them. The main principles are that stained glass paint must be in contact with the outline, and you cannot leave “unpainted” marks. (Rate the material! Already voted: 25 average rating: 4,80 out of 5)

So, for work we will need glassware and acrylic paints
We take a glass vase in our hands and pour a little paint into it, for example, blue. We scroll the vase a little in our hands, then add a few drops of paint of a different color. If the first coat of paint does not spread well on the glass, add a few drops of water to the paint bottle. But just a little, otherwise the paint layer will be too thin and it will come off the glass.
We add different colors of paint one by one and twist the vase in our hands, gradually tilting it down until the entire inner surface is painted.
You can combine an indefinite number of different colors, it all depends on your preference and taste.
When the entire vase is painted, turn it over and place it bottom up so that all the excess paint flows out of it. Remove excess paint with a napkin

Step-by-step instructions for painting a vase
|
Step_1 First, you need to thoroughly wash the vase with warm water and soap. The vase must be perfectly clean Step_2 After the vase has dried, the surface must be degreased before painting. To do this, pour a little solvent or alcohol inside the vase and shake it so that it rinses the walls Step_3 To paint a vase, almost any acrylic paint is best suited, because... After drying, it forms a coating that is not soluble in water. Ideally, you need to use acrylic waterproof paint for glass, but practice shows that it is practically no different (except for marketing) from ordinary acrylic paint |
 |
Step_4 Pour paint onto the bottom of the vase, depending on the volume of the vase, there should be 30 ml of paint or more. “Loosen” the paint inside the vase, i.e. make sure that it drenches the walls of the vase from the inside, thereby coloring it. Ideally, this way you need to paint the vase almost to the very neck.
Step_8 Place the vase to dry. If one layer of paint was not enough and the uneven thickness of the paint is visible through the light, paint the vase in a second layer in the same way after the first layer of paint has dried, usually this takes at least 1 hour
How to paint the outside of a vase?
Step_2 Prepare workplace: Cover the space 1-2 meters around the vase with old newspapers or covering film. Don't forget rubber gloves and a respirator.
Step_3 Shake the can of paint thoroughly, turning it upside down.
When painting the outside of a vase, we also recommend using acrylic paints, preferably glass paints, but not necessarily waterproof, since the outer surface of the vase will not be in constant contact with water.
Even a regular children's set of acrylic paints for creativity will do.
