Please go through the instructable on how to make this small paper vase
Step 1: Cut Paper Into Pieces
- You need 12.5 cm x 5 cm size paper strips of 36 pieces in each color. (Total 72 pieces)
- Take A4 or any size papers of two different colors and cut required number of strips to size
Here I have used pink and light green colored papers for making the vase
Step 2: Fold the Paper Strips
- Take one strip of any color and fold it in half longitudinally
- Once again fold it in half, so that the width of fold is 12.5 mm, having 4 folds
- Now fold at middle and then at 1/4th portion to form like a square
- Finally fold edges inside and make a "V" shape as shown
We need to fold all 72 pieces like this
Step 3: Start Connecting the Folded Strips
- Take one pink folded strip and one light green strip
- Insert light green strip through the pink one as shown. This will form a "L" shape with both the colored strips
- Continue connecting strips in a zigzag manner
Step 4: Make Rings
- Connect 9 pieces of pink and 9 pieces of light green to form one length of chain
- Fold the chain to a round shape and insert one end to another to close the ring
- Make 4 such rings with folded strips
Step 5: Close Bottom
- Place one ring on a piece of card stock and draw the circular outline
- Cut the card stock to size and attach the bottom with glue
Step 6: Glue All 4 Segments Together
- Glue on edges of each ring and join them together.
- Allow the glue to dry.
