Compositions in glass vases
Photo 1: Cut 2 rectangles out of thick cardboard to fit the inner size of the vase plus 1,5 cm along the short edge. Glue the rectangles together to form a small support for the allowance.
Photo 2: Glue a collage of old greeting letters and cards onto the cardboard. It is better to use PVA glue for gluing.
Photo 3: Degrease the plate. Glue the cardboard part of the composition in the center. The cardboard should be perpendicular to the plane of the plate.
Photo 4: Mark the boundaries of the area of the plate that falls under the “hood”. Apply the glue from a gun to the surface of the plate, starting with a cardboard stand, and cover it with decorative snow chips until the glue hardens. Shake off excess crumbs. Apply glue in patches. Cover the composition with a cap and complement it with snow and decorative elements.
Compositions inside a jar or vase can be small or large, flat or voluminous, like a composition of artificial fern leaves and strands of plastic beads to match the leaves. Graceful golden stars of different sizes are glued to the glass. Glass walls can be used as a backdrop for the stage, gluing paper images on them. Place volumetric figures made of ceramics, wood or papier-mâché in the center. With their help, you can “tell” a story (a Christmas tree is decorated on the square, Santa Claus is carrying gifts on a sleigh, children are making a snowman). For decorating compositions in glass vessels, dried flowers, beautiful branches, Christmas tree electric garlands, antique items such as clocks or Christmas tree decorations, memorabilia and much more are also suitable. Be creative – little things create a holiday atmosphere.
