To reproduce such a spiral vase you will need:
• tubes from magazine sheets 116 pieces;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• clothespins;
• plastic bottle with a capacity of 2 liters.
Two tubes are folded in a cross and pressed against the bottle; another tube is placed on one of the four threads, the tip of which is slipped under the bottom of the bottle. Now the two vines lying on top of each other begin to weave. The lower vine hugs the upper thread and lies across the crosshair stick. Next, the stick that has taken over the vine is also wrapped around it and placed in a circle on the next stick. The weaving is done in the form of a spiral, each vine is pressed tightly against the wall of the bottle.
Having completed the work to a sufficient height, the weaving expands. Each vine, when wound, does not lie on the previous knot, but slightly retreating to the side. The farther the new knot lies, the wider the weave will be. By placing the knots closer or further away, you can achieve any desired shape of the product. At the end of the weaving, the last vine is secured with a lower stick coated with office glue and secured with a clothespin.All excess ends are cut off and thickly coated with glue for strength.
The bottom is made by twisting the same tubes into a tight circle to the desired size. Each lash is pre-smoothed by hand and coated with PVA glue. The finished bottom is secured with a clothespin and left for some time to dry completely.
The bottom is attached to the vase using PVA glue and secured with clothespins.
The finished vase is painted with mahogany-colored wooden varnish in several stages, since after one coating there are many unpainted areas left. You can also insert a cut bottle inside the vase so that you can pour water and place fresh flowers.
