How to Make Flower Vessels from Clothes
Looking for a unique and sustainable way to display your beautiful flowers? Look no further than your own closet! This craft transforms old clothes into charming flower vessels, adding a touch of eco-friendly flair to your home decor.
Materials:
- Old clothing
- Clay (enough to fill 2 tub)
- Mixing pot
- Water
- Long stick
- Container with soil to put the long stick in
- Box (large enough to fit on top of the stick)
- Optional: paint, stencils, or other decorative elements
Instructions:
- Mud Preparation: Prepare a mud mixture by combining water and soil in the mixing pot.
2. Fabric Fusion: Add your old clothes to the mud mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the fabric is well-coated with mud.
3. Building the Base: Fill a tub with clay. Push a long stick vertically into the center of the clay, creating a sturdy support. Place the box on top of the protruding end of the stick. This will act as a mold for shaping the vessel.
4. Sculpting with Mud: Retrieve the fabric-mud mixture and carefully drape it over the box, shaping it into your desired flower vessel design. Focus on creating a stable base by wetting the fabric mixture with additional mud if necessary.
5. Drying Time: Allow your creation to dry completely. Once dry, carefully remove the box and stick, revealing your upcycled masterpiece!
