Mini Vases – Valentines Cards
Is there anything a paper roll can’t do? I’m beginning to believe the answer is no. Add some cardboard and I believe it’s possible to create a small city. For now, let’s focus on creating a lovely set of mini vases!
Shall we?
To make your mini vases, gather:
- Paper Rolls
- Paint
- Cardboard
- Xacto knife
- Flowers
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Squirt bottle or paint brushes
How to make a mini vase card for real flowers
- Cut cardboard into 9 square pieces using a ruler and xacto knife. Paint cardboard color of choice.
- Cut paper roll into two pieces. Draw a vase shape on each half and cut it out. Make 9; one for each square cardboard back. Optional: Paint the vases a white basecoat.
- Pour paint into a squirt bottle. Let the kids go wild covering the vases in paint! Let the paint dry.
- Hot glue vases onto the cardboard squares.
- Place small stems into vases and arrange on the wall or place on a table! (Do not put water into the vases – but you can add a wet piece of kitchen towl wrapped in clingfilm around the stem of the flower to make them last longer.) Enjoy!
