Turn a plastic container into a sculptural vase
As Anna pours the last drops of washing liquid in the washer, she suddenly notices the lovely shape of the container in her hand. With just a few means, she turns the empty plastic container into a beautiful, sculptural vase.
Reuse a washing liquid container or another type of plastic container with a nice shape.
Mix sandy clay and acrylic paint to a structured mass in your desired colour. The texture should be like soft serve ice cream. You need approx. three tubes of paint for one bucket of sandy clay.
You can now cover the container with the structured mass with a palette knife. Continue until the container is as covered as you like. Go ahead and cover a few cm of the inside at the opening so the plastic is not visible from above.
Let the vase dry for 24 hours before you start using it as a vase.
