How Do You Make Wooden Vases At Home?
Making a wooden vase at home is as easy as eating candy. All you need are the suitable materials and tools for the job. Firstly, you should know what type of wooden vase you need. The vases are different in size and shape.
Examples of different wooden vases include banksia pod vase, boxwood hollow form, sandblasted ash hollow form and yew vase. Others are Oak dice hollow form, Chac te coke vase and yew natural edge vase.
Here are the materials you need to make a wooden vase.
- Pinewood
- Paintbrush
- Wood glue
- Sandpaper
- Jigsaw
- Paint (colour of your choice)
- A design template
- Clamps
- Test tube
- Vaseline
With the template in hand, get down to work. Use the clamps to steadily hold the pinewood as you cut through them into different shapes. The jigsaw does a fantastic job and is less labour-intensive.
It would help if you were careful when cutting through curves, as it can be tricky at times. You can get different jigsaw designs if your wooden vase design has a lot of curves. It makes it easier to cut through.
Next, assemble the shapes and bind them together using quality wood glue. Clamp the glued piece stuck on each other for firmness. High-quality wood glue never disappoints so, when buying, make sure you get the right quality.
Apply Vaseline on the grain of the wood and rough areas followed by some paint.
You notice that paint doesn’t get deep into the surface where there is Vaseline. It makes it easier to scrub rough surfaces using sandpaper and end up with a superb texture. Smoothening the wood’s surface lessens paint resistance on the surface of the vase.
When done with the scrubbing, paint the vase with a colour of your choice. Place a test tube inside the vase. It helps in holding water – this prevents flowers from withering fast.
