You have a particular look in mind, but you don’t have a suitable vase. No problem. With self-drying clay, a leaf with an unusual structure and the loveliest peonies you can upgrade your vase in a flash!
How to make it
Step 1
Unroll the aluminium foil on the cutting board, and place a leaf with lots of structure - like a peony leaf - on top. Roll the clay out on this until it’s a thin layer approximately 7 mm thick.
Step 2
It looks best if the clay covers around 3/4 of the vase. Take account of this when you’re rolling out the clay. Wrap the clay around the vase and remove the foil and the leaf.
Step 3
Cut and arrange the flowers, fill the vase with water and place the bouquet in your new vase with its temporary summer jacket. A new look in 10 minutes!
The next step
If you want something truly different, you can make a whole new vase out of the self-drying clay. You can use the existing vases as a mould. Or alternatively you could opt for entirely new shape - let your imagination run wild.
