Craft Idea for the Home
While wondering the mall one day we stopped in at Z Galleries to look around, when we came across this...
I fell in love with the Vase. They had all shapes and sizes and as we were looking at them I got an idea. Why don't we just make one! I mean they were just glass bowl with wood chips covering them.
We then began the task of creating one.
What you'll need:
-Small branches
-Wood glue
-Vase
-Brown spray paint-non-slick paint
-plastic ornament
1. We first went to the mountains, picked up a couple of dead tree limbs and brought them home to be cut into 1 inch thick chips.
2. After they were cut we got a regular glass vase and sanded it down. Note: We sanded it down so that when we glued on the wood chips there would be texture to form to, instead of just sliding off the glass.
3. Use wood glue to glue on the wood chips: Note: This is the most fun trying to get the chips to fit its like a puzzle.
4. To make the glass look more uniform we spray painted the inside brown with a non-slick paint.
5. Sand plastic ornaments and glue on chips {same as before}
