11 Paper Vase Craft For Kids These days, it seems like everyone is looking for ways to reuse items around the house. Recycling and repurposing are two of my favorite hobbies,
so I’m always looking for new ways to make things out of household junk.
While most people think that recycling paper just means throwing it in the recycling bin, there are actually tons of fun crafts you can do with leftover paper products! These 11 ideas will let you turn those old newspapers into something useful—and pretty!
Ice Cream Cone Vase
An ice cream cone vase is a great way to celebrate the summer season and show off your creativity. The following steps will help you make a fun, fresh-looking vase that any kid would be proud of.
What You’ll Need.
- A yellow or red ice cream cone
- A small glass jar or container with a lid (you can use an old jam jar)
- Watercolor paints/paint markers/glitter glue/modeling clay/other materials for decorating
How To Fill It.
The first thing you must do is cut the top off of your ice cream cone. If you have older children who are into baking or cooking, they may be able to do this part on their own; otherwise, parents can help them out!
You want to cut out just enough so that when it’s placed inside the jar with its bottom pressed against walls and its top resting against bottom there’s still plenty space left between it and those surfaces where liquid could leak through onto surfaces below if placed incorrectly (this means we don’t want any liquid touching anything except watercolor paint).
This might sound complicated but should take no more than five minutes tops once everyone understands how much needs to be removed from each side of their chosen shape before they begin cutting away at it with scissors.
3D Flower Vase
Use a paper punch to make flowers and leaves. You can use different sizes of flower or leaf punches to create various layers of embellishment.
Use a stem punch to create the bottom part of your vase, then cut the end at an angle so it resembles a cone shape (or use an actual cone).
Fold up your paper from the bottom of your cone up towards its tip until you have reached approximately half its height (the point where it will be attached as part of your vase), then cut off excess pieces if necessary. Make sure this piece is long enough for you to sew onto another section later on!
Paper Plate Flower Vase
You will need
- paper plates
- glue
- scissors
- tissue paper.
Instructions.
Roll up the paper plate and cut off the rim to make it flat on both sides. Then, glue tissue paper on one side of the plate using a glue gun or glue stick (you can also use double-sided tape). Do this until you have covered most of your plate in tissue paper, leaving room for its intended use as a vase.
You may have to do this step twice if you have a large plate and want to cover it entirely. After you are finished gluing your tissue paper onto one side of the plate, begin rolling it back down around itself until there is no more space left between each layer of glued tissue for another sheet of tissue;
otherwise, when rolled down again later on after cutting into an appropriate shape for a vase, there will be gaps between layers where water could leak through! This step requires patience but is worth doing carefully since having leaks anywhere would defeat the purpose – not only does it add risk that water might get spilled all over but potentially ruin surfaces below when left unattended (not good!).
Toilet Roll Flower Vase
Materials Needed.
- Toilet roll
- Glue gun or glue sticks
- Scissors (optional)
- Hole punch (optional)
- Pencil (optional)
Step 1.
Cut the bottom off your toilet roll and remove any flaps that you may have. You can use the scissors to do this but it’s best if you have an adult help you with this step as it can be quite tricky for younger children.
If you don’t have an adult around, try asking a friend or family member who lives nearby if they would like to come over and help out! They’re sure to be happy about it!
Paper Cupcake Liner Flower Vase
Materials
- Paper cupcake liners
- Tissue paper (colors of your choice)
- Glue (white glue or Mod Podge)
- Water (to add color to tissue paper)
- Tape (for securing tissue paper to toilet roll tube)
Tape is optional and only used if you want the tissue paper to stay attached to a plastic cupcake liner. You can use hot glue instead if you don’t have any tape on hand. If using hot glue, be sure not to burn yourself on it!
If you’re making this craft with young children and they are somewhat proficient at cutting out shapes, then this step could be easy for them! Just cut out a bunch of circles from different colors of tissue paper and have them arrange them into flower shapes as shown above. It’s fun for everyone involved because you can all talk about how pretty the flowers look! Once done, set aside while we work on other parts of our project…
Tissue Paper Flower Vase
- Use tissue paper to make a flower vase.
- Make a heart-shaped vase.
- Make a flower with a stem in the middle of the paper.
Paper Flowers In The Pot
Make a paper flower by cutting out 4 petals and then folding them in half and attaching them together with tape.
The 1st two petals should be placed on top of each other, while the 3rd and 4th should be placed side by side. Repeat until you have enough flowers for your vase.
Cut a strip of paper about ½ inch wide and long enough to wrap around your flower pot (it will overlap in the back). Attach it using tape or glue so that it sticks to itself but doesn’t stick to anything else—this will keep your flower from falling off!
Add some water, add a flower, and display proudly!
Recycled Cardboard Roll Plant Pots
Use a cardboard roll. A quick trip to the grocery store and you’ve got yourself a free, reusable pot!
Cut the roll into strips. Then, tie them together at one end to create a circle that’s slightly larger than your plant or seedling.
Fill with potting soil and plant your seeds or seedlings in it!
Cardboard Tube Flower Pots
If you have a cardboard tube lying around that’s been used for something, try using it to make a flower pot.
You can use tubes from toilet rolls, paper towel rolls, or wrapping paper rolls. You can use different sizes of tubes and paint them if you want to. They’re great for planting flowers or small plants inside!
Clay Desi Ghar Pots
A clay desi ghar pot is a fun craft to do with your kids. They can use their imagination to make it in any shape and color.
These pots are also very useful when you want to keep something inside them. You can use them as vases or even make small plants grow in them! Let’s get started on making one now!
Benefits of using Clay Desi Ghar Pot
These pots not only look good but they are also very beneficial for you and your family as well. Some of its benefits include:
It keeps away insects like mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies etc., which help you maintain cleanliness at home by reducing the risk of getting diseases from these insects’ bites or stings;
It helps you save money because all sorts of insects are attracted towards lights so if there’s no source then there won’t be any problem whatsoever (hehe)
It also gives out pleasant smells which help freshen up the air around us especially during summer days when temperature rises up due to heat waves hence making this process even more important than ever before!
Cloth Pom-Pom Flowers In A Paper Pot
The first step is to gather your materials. You’ll need yarn, scissors, and a piece of paper about the size of a napkin.
Then you’ll start by cutting out a square shape from the piece of paper. Next, cut four strips from the long side of it so that you have eight total pieces: four squares and four triangles.
Now take one square and cut off two thirds of it so that there is only one third left on each side still attached together at their corners. This will create another rectangle with two edges along each end where they were attached before being cut off..
Take this new rectangle and fold it in half lengthwise then place it inside another strip with no crease showing yet (this will be important later). Fold this strip into thirds over itself so now there are three layers inside each other – with just enough room between them for some yarn! Cut off any excess material after folding if needed but be sure not to cut too close otherwise there won’t be enough room for pom poms later on….
