I would like to show how I made a flower vase out of plastic bottle. This flower vase can be used to keep both artificial and natural flowers. For keeping artificial plants or flowers use pebbles or sand in order to fill the vase and for natural flowers use water. This piece of craft is completely made out of plastic bottles. We use a lid of relatively large container as a base for the flower vase. Use spray paint or painting brush to paint the flower vase.
Required Materials:
1) Plastic bottle
2) Lid of a container
3) Artificial plants or Natural flowers
4) Pebbles
5) Cutting blade
6) Glue gun or any adhesive for plastic bonding
7) Iron box
8) Spray paint or Acrylic paint
First of we shall make the vase from the plastic bottles. For that,
1) Take any plastic bottle of desired shape. Decide the required size for your flower vase and select a plastic bottle.
2-3) Cut out the top quarter of the plastic bottle as shown in the image.
4-5) Now using a hot iron box curve the brim of the cut out plastic bottle. Set your iron box to a low temperature and slowly slide the brim of the plastic bottle on the surface of the iron box in a circular motion.
6) Now take a lid of a container. While selecting the lid it should have a size approximately equal to the brim of the bottle so as to get a good shape for the flower vase.
7-8) Apply hot glue at the center of the lid top and fix the bottle head on to the top of the lid as shown in the image.
Now we have made a simple flower vase.
1-2) Using a white acrylic spray paint paint the flower vase. Apply a second coat a few minutes after the first coat.
3) Now I have made one more flower vase in the same way. You can try with bottles having different shape and size.
4-5) This time I have planned to give a black acrylic color for the second flower vase.
6-10) Finally, i have made one more flower vase to give a gradient effect on it. For this, the flower vase is lay down and spray painted with black on one side. Thereafter on the other side it’s spray painted white as shown in the image.
Finally, we need to place plants or flowers inside the flower vase. We can keep both artificial and natural plants and flowers in this flower vase.
1-6) For an artificial plant or flower use pebbles or sand in order to fill the vase. I have placed to artificial plants in the black and white flower vases.
7-9) Now, for a natural flower we can fill the vase with water. This could extend the freshness of flower in flower vase. I have placed a bunch of red roses in the flower vase as shown in the image.
So we have finished the Flower Vase. It’s a cheap flower vase as it’s a recycled plastic bottle craft. Hope you all enjoyed this tutorial.

Required Material:
Put on the headband, measure where you would like the flowers to be. You won’t want them in the section that tucks behind your ear. This may also be affected by the way you style your hair.
Cut the ribbon end at a 45 degree angle.
Glue the ribbon end on the back of the headband, let it set up for at least 15 minutes. You want it to be in a position to start wrapping around the headband as close to the end as possible. If you’re using a single sided satin ribbon be sure the pretty side is out.
Start wrapping the ribbon around the headband, overlapping it slightly and gluing it on the back of the headband, until the point you’ve decided to start your flowers. Again give this some time to set up. Make sure that every wrap of ribbon is glued in place. You may be experiencing some web-like glue stands, try to minimize them as much as possible and you can clean off whatever is left when you finish the headband.
Prepare your flowers by bending the wire at a 90 degree angle to the front of the flower. This is so that the flower will face up when the stem is tucked under ribbon.
Place a flower on top of the ribbon that’s already wrapped with the stem on the unwrapped part of the headband. You can use a bit of glue to hold it if you need to. Wrap the ribbon around the stem, and glue it on the back. If you’re using 1/16” ribbon you’ll need to wrap it one or two more times, if you’re using 1/8” ribbon you probably won’t. Add another flower, wrap again. You might need a flower for every wrap, or more flowers/wraps depending on the materials you are working with and how densely packed you want the flowers to be. Continue placing flowers and wrapping until you get to the point at the other end of the headband where you want the flowers to end.
Wrap the ribbon the rest of the way, continuing to glue it in place on the back of the headband, until you get to the end. Cut the ribbon and firmly glue the end of the ribbon on the back of the headband.
Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before wearing. E6000 glues ribbon to plastic, it will do an even better job of gluing things to your hair.
