Paper Mache Vase

.Blow a balloon the size of a basket ball.

.Make a mixture of white glue and water and dip newspaper peices into it. Start pasting the peices on the balloon, leaving just a small space empty for the neck of the vase.

.With a card board box card, make a cylinder and tape it to the balloon. This would be the neck of your vase. Make the flat base of your vase by cutting a peice of cardboard box card in a square and taping it on the balloon base. 

.To make the top of the vase rounded from the corners, roll together a long peice of tissue paper and glue it around the top of the cardboard neck.

.Now, cover the entire object with newspaper peices dipped in white glue. 

.Once covered and dryed, you can add a second newspaper layer to make the object stronger. Let it dry.

.Next, take peices of tissue from the tissue roll and start pasting them over the newspaper covering. Cover the entire object with tissue. Keep adding layers of tissue until your bject looks completely white after drying up completely.

Last, pop the balloon from inside the neck.  

.Your paper mache vase is now ready. Paint it with acrylic paints and make it look colourful and pretty. Give it a glowing look by adding a glow varnish cover over the paint (that's optional).
