2018-05-14 09:36:02

The use of paper cups to create hollow vases, in the vase inside the bright light, it becomes a bright vase, without the use of professional materials and tools, are accessible in daily life of small objects, simple and easy to operate.

Tools/Materials
1

1 large paper cup

2

1 medium plastic cup

3

Shears and eyebrow shears

4

1 needle tool such as embroidery needle or tack

5

1 soft bristled toothbrush or other brush

6

1 cotton swab

7

Acrylic pigment

Methods/Steps
1

Materials: large paper cup, medium plastic cup, large scissors and eyebrow scissors, acrylic paint, soft brush, cotton swab

2

Fill large paper cups with paint of your choice, using an old soft-bristled toothbrush or other soft brush. Brush twice in total, brush the first time, and then brush the second time after dry, you can also brush again. (In the process of production, I found that this step can actually be skipped, and the color can be painted after the cutout, because some of the paint will be crossed out when cutting the flower, and the latter has to be rebrushed)

3

Use a pencil to outline the words you want to write (not too many, or you will have a hard time poking the holes by hand), then use a needle to poke the holes along the outline.

4

Using the method of 6-point positioning, first locate the position of the flower in the cup body (the position of the pinhole is also for the scissors to poke in and cut), and cut out the petals with small eyebrow scissors, and the advantage of the upturned eyebrow scissors is that it comes with an arc, and it is better to cut the petals.

5

The location of the flowers is free to choose, but not too dense, otherwise the effect is not good, and the hand is tired to cut this petal (really should go to the whole set of carving tools). After the petals are cut, some of the places that have just been colored will be pierced by scissors. At this time, the outline of the petals can be repaired with acrylic paint of the same color with a cotton swab.

6

After the repaired paint dries, you can put the prepared small light into the hollow vase, and then put the medium plastic vase with flower branches into the hollow vase, you can see the effect in the picture (These small lights bought in a treasure, 1 yuan a, used to put the atmosphere in the balloon, I get here to use). If there is no small lamp, it doesn't matter, the flashlight is turned on, the vase is under the cushion, and you can also see the wonderful effect of hollowout (this is more suitable for some romantic places to use, open a small meeting can be pressed under the translation vase, but also use it, haha).

7

No lighting can also be used, as a normal decoration, you can roll a solid color paper inside the hollow vase, so that the pattern revealed through the hollow place is more clear, if the vase with flowers inside is already a solid color, you can also not roll another paper in the middle.
