Paper Mache Vases From Recycled Plastic Bottles

Paper Mache small vases

Since we’re on the theme of paper mache, I thought I’d show you a  simple paper mache vase project that’s perfect for summer crafting, as well as Shavuos! And it’s a great way to use all those cute tiny bottles from medicine, yogurt, vanilla etc. And once you’ve finished your paper mache vases, you can fill them with tiny summer flowers for a super sweet seasonal display.

You’ll Need:

  • recycled plastic bottles from food or medicine
  • newspaper for paper mache
  • metallic gold paint
  • images from napkins or paper for decoupaged details
  • beads or ribbon to cover the bottle neck

How To:Wash and dry bottles. Cover bottles with several layers of paper mache and set aside to dry. Paint with metallic gold paint and set aside to dry. Apply small designs with decoupage.

    Would this work with a glass bottle? I have some glass bottles do you have any projects you suggest using them for?

    Hi Brittany,
    If course this would work for a glass bottle, and Ive also done lots of decoupage on glass jars with tissue paper, and painted wine bottles…….just look under my recycling crafts category and youll find lots of projects there, though you may have to go through a few years worth……..try doing a search on my blog for decoupage, and for wine bottles to find those specific projects. all the best!
