This is a very easy project that you and your children can make together...kids just love to rip up things, so hand them the tissue paper and let them do it!
Here are the supplies that you will need:
Tissue Paper- Dark Pink, Light Pink, White and Red
Decoupage Medium - Glossy Finish
Clear Mica Glitter
Foam Brush
Newspaper (cover your work surface)
Glass Vase
Here is how I made it:
I first started by washing and drying my vase. I then took some rubbing alcohol over it and left it air dry for several minutes. While it was drying, I ripped up my tissue paper into a variety of shapes and sizes. You will want to lay down several sheets of newspaper onto your work surface to catch the drips.
In a small glass bowl, I added 4 tablespoons of Decoupage and 1/2 teaspoon of water. I like to add just a tad of water so its not as thick. Using my foam brush, I layered on a thin coat of decoupage medium onto one side of my vase. I then used my ripped up tissue paper and just layered it on in a pattern that I liked. You will repeat this process for all sides and the bottom of your vase. You will want to let it dry for 1-2 hours. Once dry, use your foam brush to layer a top coat of the medium onto the tissue paper and let it dry for an additional 1-2 hours.
Optional: After I coated my vase with the top coat layer, I chose to sprinkle on some mica glitter. If you want to add the glitter, make sure you sprinkle it on while the decoupage medium is still wet.
You can now enjoy your new flower vase!
