Pretty Mod Podge Vase Using Colorful Tissue Paper

Make a stunning Mod Podge vase with tissue paper! This easy DIY project is perfect for creating custom home decor that’s colorful and unique.

Skills Required: Advanced Beginner. I recommend having some experience with Mod Podge to complete this project, since tissue paper tends to wrinkle.

Are you a fan of flowers? If you are a chick like me, then the answer is likely “yes.” I can be picky about my flowers, and this might be funny, but I really like white flowers. I find white cut tulips to be particularly beautiful.

They are smooth and simple and look great in decorative vases, which I have several of (hello, decoupage addict). I’m going to show you how to decorate a vase with tissue paper and make it pretty to hold flowers!

I recently decorated a tall glass vase with tissue paper, and I think it’s lovely for displaying white tulips. I love a vase in the kitchen to brighten my mood in the morning, or even decorating a vase just like this one and giving full of tulips as a gift.

The tissue paper makes it a perfect budget craft, and I love the ombre pattern. If you want to Mod Podge on glass, this is a perfect craft idea to get you started. Here’s how it’s made.

Gather These Supplies

• Tall glass vase – Dollar Tree
• Sizzix Big Shot (if you don’t have one, you can use an online template and cut out the tissue paper with scissors)
• Sizzix die – Plain Leaves
• Mod Podge Satin
• Tissue paper in at least 3 colors
• Paint brush

I’m so thrilled with the finished project. Now you know how to decorate a vase with tissue paper! My method keeps the tissue from wrinkling, because you’re using smaller pieces. Just like my wine bottles!

Tissue Paper Vase

Learn how to Mod Podge a vase with tissue paper! This is a pretty craft that can be easily customized.

Prep Time5 minutes mins

Active Time1 hour hr 30 minutes mins

Dry Time3 hours hrs

Total Time4 hours hrs 35 minutes mins

Yield: 1 vase

Cost: $2

Equipment

• Die cutter OR a pair of scissors and design to cut out
• X-Acto Knife
• Paintbrush(es)

Materials

• 1 Glass vase
• Mod Podge Satin
• Tissue paper

Instructions

• Use a cutter and die to trim the shapes from the tissue paper. If you don't have a Big Shot or similar, you can simply use a paper template and cut the tissue with scissors.
  
• Apply Mod Podge to the glass and gently smooth one tissue paper piece down. You can use your finger or the brush.
  
• Paint Mod Podge delicately over the top. Just be careful not to brush too hard so that you don't tear the tissue paper. Repeat with the remaining pieces until you reach the top. Let dry.
  
• Use the X-Acto to trim the any excess dried tissue paper that overlaps the edge. Then seal the entire vase again with a coat of Mod Podge. Let dry before displaying.
  

Notes

Step 1: Both with the die cutter and scissors, you can stack the tissue paper and cut out several shapes at once.

The most time consuming part of the project is cutting piles of several leaves. How many you need just depends on how large your vase is – this took about ten minutes for me. You can always cut more if you need to.

Start with the darkest shade on the bottom if you are doing an ombre vase like I did – put your mid-tone color in the middle and the lightest on the top.Appl
