Cut into shape and covered with patterned papers, Tetra Paks, which are inherently waterproof, get a second chance – They turn into unique DIY hanging vases and embellish any wall
Time: approx. 15 minutes per Tetra Pak Flower Vase + 1 hour drying time.
For these upcycled wall vases we need:
Empty Tetra Paks in different sizes, ruler, permanent felt-tip pen, scissors, cutter, brush, ø 5 mm punch pliers, chalk color, matching patterned paper, tesa ® Double-sided Adhesive Tape Eco Fixation, tesa ® Adhesive Nail for Wallpaper & Plaster (1kg), tesa ® Adhesive Nail for Wallpaper & Plaster (2kg).
Draw a vase opening on the washed out Tetra Paks using the felt-tip pen and the ruler. The back side of the vase should be about 2.5 cm higher than the front.
Cut out the opening with the cutter.
Paint the Tetra Paks with chalk paint in several thin layers until the color covers the vase perfectly and allow to dry.
Apply a banderole made of patterned paper at the bottom of the vase. Measure the area to be covered in the desired size. Cover the back side of the paper with double-sided adhesive tape and cut to size. Peel-off the protective film from the adhesive tape.
Glue the paper banderole onto the vase.
Punch a hole on the back side, about 1.5 cm from the upper rim.
Depending on the size of the vase apply an adhesive nail for 1 or 2 kg on the wall according to the instructions on the packaging. Hang the finished Tetra Pak flower vase on the adhesive nail.
