Flat Paper Mache Vase

"These DIY Paper Mache Vases are a fantastic way to turn everyday recyclables into charming home decor. Made from cardboard, newspaper, and glue, the vases are simple to assemble using free printable templates, and they’re easy to decorate using gift wrap, wallpaper, or paint. Flat in shape but three-dimensional in form, they’re lightweight, versatile, and perfect for displaying handmade flowers like paper blooms, fabric blossoms, or even real stems with a hidden water-safe liner. This project is great for crafters who love upcycling and want to create something beautiful and useful from materials they already have. A perfect addition to your handmade decor collection!"
