Any thing made by yourself is more valuable than just bought in a store. Especially if it is an interior item, in this case, you can choose any size, shape and that style that is suitable for your room.
A vase is one of the interior elements that can be made from plastic and glass bottles, using materials such as threads, colored paper, slivers, ribbons or twigs of various trees. A vase decorated with various cereals and bean grains looks very unusual and original. To prepare such a vase, we need a plastic bottle, scissors, plasticine, rice, peas, red beans and wheat grain.

Take a plastic bottle and cut off the upper part with scissors, we no longer need it.

Take a plastic bottle


Then we take white plasticine and soften with our hands, then apply it with a thin layer on the surface of the bottle. The thickness of plasticine should be about 1-2 mm, if it is less, the grains will stick poorly, but they will not fix well on the surface of plasticine.

apply plasticine


Now that the entire surface of our bottle is evenly covered with a layer of plasticine, we choose a pattern that suits our liking. Various geometric shapes of irregular shape will look very beautiful.

We will stick around the top and bottom of the bottle with wheat groats. This is very easy to do: we lower the bottle into the container with the contents first at one end, then at the other. The boundaries of the upper and lower parts are made wavy. In order for the croup not to crumble, you need to gently press it to the surface with a light touch of your fingers.

Stick around the top and bottom of the bottle


Having decided on the main picture, in the center of the future vase we lay out a shape similar to an inverted drop from peas.

First, lay out the borders of our drop, and then fill in the entire shape we selected.

When the base of our drawing is ready, the outer side of the drop is covered with red beans in two layers.

Thus, we get the “drop by drop” pattern.

Our main composition is ready, now we arrange the background of the vase with white rice. In order for the work to go faster, pour a small amount of rice on the surface and lightly press down so that the grains are well fixed. Using this method, we fill all the free space with cereals, the finer the grains, the more beautiful the overall picture will look.

That's all! With the help of ordinary cereals, we were able to turn a simple plastic bottle into a real art.

It remains only to supplement it with what it is intended for, in our case, we use pine branches.
