A floor vase can become one of the most important elements of home decor.
Before you start making this interesting piece, you need to look closely at the house and try to imagine:
- which part of the vase will look best;

Choosing decorative branches for a floor vase
The main decorative tool that can be put in a vase is decorative branches. A variety of decorations are used - and it is not necessary to choose branches of the same type. You can and often need to combine different options to get more original compositions. Here are a few of them:
- Combinations of black and light significantly enliven the space through the effect of contrast. This gives a light, pleasant look and looks especially advantageous in combination with backlighting.
- For a long time, it has become a fairly common technique when decorative balls are attached to the branches. Here you can choose exactly light-colored products, because on occasion they can be painted in any color, and then the composition will heal with a new life.
- Multi-colored, wavy branches gathered in a bunch are in many ways similar to beautiful flowers gathered in a bouquet. And if you put them tightly to each other, you get a very beautiful view - like fireworks.
- Finally, branches with leaves or small, bright flowers look very good. They will be appropriate in any kitchen, as they create a very cozy, natural setting.
TIP
Homemade branches are also perfect for creating your own unique interior. If you collect several dry branches, clean and additionally dry them, and then paint with cans, this will not only reduce the cost of the process, but also create much more scope for creative imagination.
The main decorative tool that can be put in a vase is decorative branches Making a floor vase from waste material with your own hands
Making a floor vase does not necessarily require special skills or special materials. Experience shows that even from junk material, you can create a very decent product and decorate it so beautifully that such a vase can be easily confused with glass or ceramic.
When making a floor vase, you can use even the materials at hand that can be found in any home:
- cardboard pipes;
- pipes from linoleum;
- pipes from PVC.
In this case, it is better to take exactly the cardboard material, since it is very simple to work with it. Of course, you can't pour water into such a vase, but it looks great as a decoration in the house. You will need the following materials and tools:
- the actual cardboard tube;
- cardboard for the manufacture of the case;
- a piece of drywall or chipboard for the bottom;
- ordinary PVA glue;
- pieces of old newspaper for papier-mâché;
- paint for applying glue;
- knife and scissors;
- 7-8 egg yolks;
- putty;
- sandpaper;
- compass, ruler, pencil.
Making a floor vase does not necessarily require special skills or special materials - The most important thing is to decide on the height of the finished product. As a rule, the vase should turn out to be at least half a meter, and usually a height of 60-70 cm is chosen. It is for this reference point that you need to cut off a piece of cardboard pipe - the basis of the future craft. It is better to do this with a sharp knife, and the incision must be taken obviously 2-3 cm more, and then just trim the edges.
- Now you need to make the bottom. There are two options here - you can use drywall, or you can take plywood. But in any case, the surface should be flat enough so that the product rests confidently on the floor and does not stagger. The circle is first drawn with a compass and then cut out. In size, it must be obviously larger than the pipe diameter (by 4-5 cm). Attached to the base with glue.
- Now comes the most crucial and longest stage. You need to take several sheets of cardboard (you can get them by unrolling large cardboard boxes), which in length should be at least the height of the vase. A contour of identical blanks is drawn on them, which will give the vase volume - that is, you need to cut out up to 20-30 identical parts that completely repeat the bend of the product.
- And 4 more blanks are cut out together with the handles (if the craft provides for such an insert).
- Parts with handles are glued on each side, 2 pieces, and the rest are glued at a distance of literally 1 cm from each other. This will ensure an attractive appearance and reliability of the entire structure.
- Next, you need to wait a few hours for all the blanks to adhere well to the surface. At the same time, it is better to check again how firmly they are stuck.
- In the meantime, you need to make a lot of newspaper pieces, smeared glue - you have to make a surface using the papier-mâché technique. It is important to keep in mind here that it is better to make several layers so that the paper is as tight as possible.
- Then egg yolks are mixed with PVA and thoroughly, thickly washed the entire surface of the workpiece.
- Now you need to wait again until it dries, and put a layer of putty.
- And when the putty hardens, carefully sand the surface with sandpaper.
- The last stage of work is the most interesting and truly creative. You need to draw a picture or just put a layer of paint from an aerosol can. And now the masterpiece is ready to please the eye.

- A towel or napkin is dipped into this solution, and it is important that it is completely saturated.
- This napkin is now placed on an inverted bucket to dry completely. First, you need to completely cover this bucket with plastic wrap so that the towels do not stick to the surface.
- The surface is carefully smoothed with the bottom, and the falling folds can be simply straightened.
- The bucket is taken outside or placed on the balcony to dry for 24 hours.
In fact, the floor vase itself is already ready. However, you still need to try to make the surface truly beautiful and attractive. To do this, we proceed as follows:
- Take 300 g of cement and sand, add one pinch of plaster and dilute the mixture with ordinary wallpaper glue (15%).
- Using a brush, this solution must be carefully covered the entire surface of the workpiece.
- And you can also initially add any acrylic paint to the solution and paint the craft at the same time with processing.

Floor vases have been an excellent home decoration for centuries. In the days of ancient civilizations, large vases already existed. They were used not only for flowers, but also for storing bulk substances. Now there is no problem in choosing beautiful floor vases. But it is better if this piece of furniture is made by the caring hands of the owners of the house. In addition, it will help save the family budget.
The history of floor vases
In ancient Greece, vases were used to store various liquids and bulk materials. A must-have item in the Middle Ages was a tall floor vase in the homes of aristocrats. She symbolized wealth and well-being. Since then, little has changed. Now this item can be seen in hotels, and in country houses, and in beauty salons. They always look stylish and create an exquisite atmosphere in the room.
Ideally, a tall floor vase should be between 40 cm and 1.5 meters in size. But there are also very tall specimens - up to the ceiling.
What can you make a floor vase from?
There are many materials for creativity. Anything that resembles a tall vase can be used to turn it into a work of art. These are various plastic bottles and bottles, large glass vessels, cardboard packaging in the form of a tube, pipes made of plastic and metal.
Auxiliary materials will be ropes, paper, salt dough, stones and even pasta. A tall floor vase can be obtained using the papier-mâché method. You can make a very nice braid from newspaper tubes.
Plastic floor vases
Floor bottles are obtained from plastic bottles. Plastic tall structures are light in weight. Therefore, for stability, they are made heavier. To create, you will need several two-liter plastic bottles.
First you need to cut off the top and bottom of the bottles and insert them into each other. The bottom of the future vase does not need to be cut off. Then you need to stick toilet paper or paper kitchen towels on the structure in several layers. In this case, the last layer should be used with an ornament created with paper soaked in glue. All this is fixed with aerosol paint. A vase in bronze, gold and copper colors will look very impressive. To keep the tall floor vase on the floor and not fall, you can pour decorative stones inside.
Glass vases
To create such a vase, you can buy a ready-made transparent vase or take a large glass bottle. You can decorate it with a thick rope. It is convenient to use a glue gun to fix it to the glass surface.
You can use a transparent sealant to apply a decorative pattern. To begin with, the glass surface must be well cleaned with acetone. Now you can apply the pattern. It can be anything, for example, repeating the texture of the bark of a tree. The workpiece must be left to dry for 24 hours. Then you can start painting the vase. You can use two or three colors. Depending on the pattern and ideas of the author. Better to use acrylic for even spray. Floor vases, high, decorated under a tree with their own hands, look great with

Floor vases, high, glass, can be simply decorated with various objects (coins, buttons, ribbons, cereals). At handicraft stores, you can buy stained glass paints and create your own work of art from a simple glass bottle.
Glass jar vase
Original floor vases for flowers, tall and not very, can be obtained if you take two three-liter jars (preferably with a wide neck). They must be glued to each other with their bottoms. Any glue for this purpose is suitable for glass. To make the vase more stable, the bottom jar must be filled with resin. Close the neck of the lower can with a disc or any round object (for stability). After the glued cans dry out, they need to be putty and painted. Or you can use the papier-mâché method and then apply a decorative pattern. To create a nautical-style vase, ropes, shells and small stones are used. Napkin decoupage technique gives room for imagination in decorating a floor vase.
Vase from a cardboard packing cylinder
A cylinder made of thick cardboard on which linoleum is wound. You can ask for it at hardware stores. Then you can give any shape to the product using papier-mâché or plaster mix. For stability to the bottom, glue a plywood circle. Decorate in any known way: cloth, rope, eggshells, nut shells. Such vases look beautiful in three in one composition. To do this, they can be glued to one wooden base. The height of the vases should be different.
Pipe vase
Craftswomen learned how to make floor vases, high with their own hands from a plumbing or water pipe. You can buy it at a hardware store or specialty store. Then it can be pasted over with newspaper sheets or tissue paper. After drying, apply a universal primer. An interesting solution for decorating such a vase would be pasting it with natural tree bark. In order to disinfect the collected material and get rid of bugs, you need to carry out a number of actions. The bark must be boiled and left in this water for about a day. After that, it must be dried well within 2 days. You can glue the bark with any glue that is suitable for wood and plastic. The bottom of the pipe is poured with gypsum solution or resin. The surface of the bark is covered from above. Several layers are required.
The result is tall decorative floor vases that will look perfect in any room design. Especially when it comes to fashionable ecological style.
Floor vase made of newspaper tubes
Perfect for country style If it is difficult to get a vine or rattan, newspaper tubes are perfect for weaving. First you need to familiarize yourself with the technique for creating these rods. So, you need a stack of newspapers, PVA glue and a lid from a saucepan or pan. To make flagella, it is enough to twist a sheet of newspaper from one corner to another. If you are new to weaving, then the bottom is best made of cardboard. But you can also weave it. Next, bend the twigs up and begin to weave the leg of the vase. After that, you need to make the vase expand. For this, a cover of a larger diameter than the leg of the vase itself is used. We insert it into the middle of the weave and continue to weave another rows 12-15. To narrow the vase to the neck, you need to use an elastic band. The rim of the vase can expand again. At the end, we braid the remaining rods so that we get a pigtail along the edge of the vase. Cut off the unnecessary remains of the tubes. That's it, the vase is almost ready. It remains only to cover it with paint or stain, and then apply varnish.
These inexpensive and shatterproof vases are suitable for those who have small children and animals at home.
Square vase out of the box
To create a square vase, a regular cardboard box of a suitable shape will do. If this is not the case, then you can correct the shape of the box at hand with a stapler or glue.
Many do not even believe that such high floor vases are obtained from simple cardboard with their own hands. The master class below will help needlewomen create a miracle.
For work you will need:
- decoupage napkins;
- decoupage glue or PVA diluted with water;
- cardboard box;
- paper;
- scissors;
- and paints;
- aerosol and water-based paints;
- pVA glue.
In order for all layers to lay firmly on the box, you need to lubricate it with a primer. Once dry, you can begin to glue the pieces of torn paper with PVA. A few layers are enough. After drying, apply a layer of water-based paint. Dry again, and only after that you can apply a layer of base paint, the same color as the future vase. To give the surface a relief, we crumple the napkin and glue it to the surface. Now we cover this relief with paint (already of a different shade). Using stencils, you can apply patterns to the vase.
DIY wooden floor vases
A floor vase, decorative, high with your own hands can be made of wooden blocks. It will have a square shape. Height and width depend on the preference of the master.
You will need:
- four elongated rectangular planks;
- one wooden square (this is the bottom of the vase);

Fold and fasten all parts of the future vase with glue and self-tapping screws. Seams and crevices should be sealed with mastic. Leave to dry for a day. After that, you need to remove the remnants of the mastic with a loop machine and sand the surface. You can decorate a vase in any way. A drawing or ornament made with the help of stencils and paints looks best on such a vase.
How to choose the right floor vase for the room?
To choose the right floor vase, you need to consider the following factors:
For a small room, flat vases and not very large ones are suitable. For large rooms, high and wide vases of various shapes are suitable. If the interior has carpets and curtains with ornaments, then it is better to choose vases with a smooth and shiny surface. Vases with a large texture, notches and patterns will look good in a calm and restrained room setting.
You can place vases by the window, between the chairs, in a niche, against the wall or in the corner. To prevent a bright vase from getting lost, it does not need to be placed close to furniture.
Before decorating a room with ethnic objects, it is worth studying all the ornaments and drawings. Do the hieroglyphs mean something not quite decent?
If you need a floor vase just for flowers, then it is better to give preference to a white or transparent vase. Bright colors and finishes will distract from the beauty of the bouquet.
A fashionable technique is to place together vases of the same style, but different in color or texture.
The main condition is that the floor vase should please the eye and please the owners of the house.
Today, only the lazy is not engaged in improving the design of his home. Fashion trends can satisfy the most sophisticated tastes of demanding consumers.

Next, a dark paint is required, the pipe is painted with it. The paint is applied in two layers, the second layer is applied after the previous one has dried.
You can take dark blue, deep turquoise, blue, or purple instead of black paint. But in this case, you will need to make more layers for full painting. Each layer will saturate the previous one. It is important that the metal pipe is not visible behind the paint layers.
Further, the floor vase is decorated with beads, beads, beautiful buttons. The bottom of the vase can be made in an interesting way - polyurethane foam and profile pieces or a single piece of metal base are taken.

Any kind of fabric can be used for decoration. In addition, you will need paint - bronze or gold (and in general this is optional, depending on the previously invented option).
You will also need materials to further decorate the vase. A cardboard tube can be decorated with small or large beads, different sizes and colors of beads, beautiful buttons, sequins.

So, for example, for a room made in a modern high-tech style, it is better to use an unusual style with a minimum number of colors and elements of additional decor.
For rooms in a classic style, strict forms and similar shades are suitable, an avant-garde design will originally complement a product with many curves and bright colors.
Very often it is enough just to change the design of an old vase, slightly change its decor with color - and this object will decorate the surrounding space in a completely new way.

Papier-mâché floor vase
One of the most popular ways to make an original floor vase with your own hands is the papier-mâché method.
Surely, everyone took a papier-mâché master class at school during labor lessons, which means that no problems should arise.

So, first you need to take a blank that will help shape the shape of the future product. These can be old boxes or plastic bottles of various shapes.
It should be remembered that each layer of papier-mâché should be thoroughly dried before putting the next one on it.
After all layers of papier-mâché are completely dry, it will be necessary to process the frame of the future vase with a water-based base and let it dry well again.
For these purposes, it is better to use spray paint, which should be applied evenly in several layers.
After the surface of the papier-mâché floor vase becomes solid, you can start decorating it. The papier-mâché floor vase can be decorated in various ways.
So, with the help of a foam rubber sponge and contrasting paint, original patterns are applied to its surface.
You can also use broken glass or mirror, various shiny objects and so on to decorate the product.
At the final stage, you should open the vase with several layers of clear varnish, which will help protect it from moisture. Dry branches will also add originality to the finished vase.
