Get ready for spring by making nested placemats and nested vases.
- Parchment paper
- Glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Tape
- Spray paint
- Pencil
- Piece of yarn or string
- Vase
- Glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Spray paint
- Sticks
- Glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Small pom poms
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat workspace and secure it with tape on all four corners.
- Place a plate upside down onto the parchment paper.
- Measure a piece of string or yarn from the center of the plate to about 2 inches longer than the plate.
- Hold the pencil at the end of the yarn and hold the other end of the yarn on the center of the plate, and use that to draw a circle around the plate; this helps to evenly draw a large circle 2 inches longer than the plate so that the placemat can be seen underneath the plate once done.
- Remove the plate.
- Option to draw the desired design onto the parchment paper.
- Use the glue gun to apply the glue over the traced design, or freehand a “nested” intertwined look.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Remove from the parchment paper.
- Allow to dry.
- Place under plate as a placemat.
- Use the glue gun to create a swirled “nested” look unto the vase (It helps to spin the vase around while doing this).
- Allow to cool completely (The glue dries quickly so you shouldn’t need to worry about it running down the vase).
- Spray paint in desired colors.
- Use the glue fun to place the little pom poms all over the sticks as desired
