Plastic Bottle Flower Vases

We need:
- Plastic bottles in different sizes
- sturdy patterned papers
- ruler
- cutter
- carpet knife
- pencil
- tesa® Glue Roller Permanent ecoLogo®
Time: approx. 10 minutes per paper vase sleeve
This Is How We Do It:
Step 1
02
Cut off the top of the bottles at the desired height using the cutter.
For thicker material, use a carpet knife.
Step 2
03
Measure the circumference of the bottle and divide it by the number of the elements the vase should consist of. Mark this measurement in the relevant number + 2 cm each in width and in the desired height on the back of each paper. Number the elements with a pencil so that they can be glued together in the desired pattern on the front side.
Step 3
04
Cut out the elements and glue them together in the desired sequence. To do so, roll on the glue along the vertical edge of the first paper.
Step 4
05
Apply the second element. Continue with the other elements, and then close the sleeve.
Step 5
06
Insert the bottle into the sleeve.
