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
