Create beauty
Materials that will be useful to you to create a pretty cones vase:
- Very many cones (their size depends on your desire, if the vase is large, it is desirable to collect more than 200 cones. For small vases, less than 50-100 pieces are suitable;
- Thin brown wire;
- Thermo glue.
The easiest way to make a vase from cones is to connect them in a circle, sticking together to each other. Each conex additionally envelop the wire, connecting it the following.
We connect step by step until the diameter needs the circle. When the first circle is the base of the vase - is ready, the bumps must once again be copper for greater reliability with the wire, this time ghits the whole circle.
In this way, we collect several circles, depending on how high your vase will be.
Each subsequent ring should either decrease in diameter, or increase, again, depending on your idea - whether it will be a vase with a narrow neck or expanding up.
Having gathered all the rings from the cones separately, with the help of thermo-glue they need to be connected to each other. The bottom, the first circle you did, also glue the walls. Vase ready! In this way, you can make a dish for fruits, bread or candies. It can be covered with waterproof varnish.
Support for flowers
To work, we will need:
- cones;
- thin wire;
- plastic bottle;
- varnish.
The bottom of the vase is starting to make, tying the bumps with wire. First, you wind one bump, central, then we glue it to it and also wrap the wire for six more cones.
The second row is screwed to the same wire, not forgetting for strength to fasten the cones among themselves with thermo glue, we attach them at a small angle to the bottom, forming the walls of the vase, as in the photo.

The third and subsequent rows of weaves and glue already perpendicular to the bottom, lifting the walls of the vase up to the height you want to see the vase.
If you want to give a vase shape of the ball, then, starting with 5 or 6 rows, tighten the wire and add additional cones. For the very last row, it will be better to choose small bumps and pull them as hard as possible wire.
Inside the finished vase, we put a cropped water bottle, and put a beautiful bouquet into the water! Vase ready!
Of course, if you do not put an extra container with water in a creek vase, alive flowers will be delivered to it problematic. But for dried flowers or decorative plants, such vases are suitable perfectly.
In addition, if you have a tin can or an unnecessary high container, which can cope with the role of a vase or basket, it is not necessary to throw it away, you can give it an interesting look using the thermo-glue and cones to it: Put the bank with cones from the outside, add it with ribbons or twine, and the original vase is ready!
