Vase - this is just the "trifle", which creates a special cosiness and charm to any room. Of course, you can buy this elegant thing everywhere. However, really refined vases are not cheap. Well and some inexpensive products at all do not paint a dwelling and look, at least, has gone. We suggest that you connect your own hands and make crafts from cardboard - vases. At diligence and imagination such products can look very unusual and original. True, they can be used only for bouquets without water.
How to make a vase of cardboard?
Imagine first the simplest manufacture of a vase of cardboard with your own hands. To do this you will need:
- cardboard box of small size and rectangular shape;
- several corrugated cardboard sheets;
- glue;
- putty;
- paints.
- We form a hexagonal figure from the box.
- Now we will manufacture the decoration elements of our vase from corrugated cardboard. We cut small triangles with different sides. Then we apply glue to the edge and spread them along the edges of the future vase, leaving small gaps between each figure.
- After the whole vase is pasted and dried, we apply a small amount of putty in the spaces between the decorative elements.
- After drying, we paint our vase with contrasting colors: dark - on the area between the triangles.

Outdoor vase made of cardboard
If desired, you can make a stylish outdoor vase that will fit perfectly into your interior. For its manufacture you need to prepare the following materials:
- large cardboard box;
- Scotch;
- pencil;
- paper;
- PVA glue;
- adhesive for ceiling tiles;
- paper clips;
- shells from pistachios for decoration.
- First, cut out the "pattern" of our future vase. Since it will be floor, the height should be at least 60 cm. We prepare four faces for the vase: two rectangular and two curly. But the width in the central part should be the same. We connect them in the middle with a tape of scotch tape. Cut out the square bottom.
- Then attach the adhesive tape to the edges, fastening them in the ribbons with adhesive tape. Do not forget to attach the bottom of our vase. Then, for better fixing, we cut out strips of paper from paper and attach them with PVA glue to the neck. We fix them for a while with paper clips.
- Then you can decorate the vase. On the shell, apply a small amount of glue and attach it to the vase in an arbitrary pattern or chaotically.

Unusual vase from cardboard: master class
The production of this vase is somewhat different from the ones suggested above. For its manufacture you will need:
- cardboard;
- A narrow glass jar, for example, from pickled mushrooms;
- marker;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- glue.
- Let's start with the bottom. Take the jar, attach it with the bottom to the cardboard sheet and outline the contours with the marker. The resulting circle will be our bottom for the vase. When you cut it with scissors, add 1-1.5 cm to the outlined contour.
- From the remaining cardboard, cut a lot of thin strips, their width should be 1-1, 5 cm. It is important that the width of all was the same, so use a ruler for this.
- Then cut from these strips the same lengths of 3-4 cm. Their length depends on the diameter of the bottom of the future vase.
- Well, now we will directly manufacture the vase from cardboard. To do this, glue the cardboard pieces along the edge of the bottom. Do this in such a way that the blanks do not protrude behind the contour drawn by the marker.
- Then put a second layer of cardboard pieces in a staggered pattern. Continue to lay out the vase in the same way. From time to time, insert a can in the craft to check that it crawls.
- Stop working when the bank is completely hidden. Leave the artifice to dry until morning.
