Fern Patterned Vase
| Materials needed |
- Tall clear glass vase (about 10").
- Methylated spirits.
- Pressed leaves/ferns.
- Spray mount.
- Glass etching spray.
|
| How to make |
- Wash the vase thoroughly with water. Leave to dry for sometime.
- Wipe its surface with methylated spirits. This will let the etching spray stick well to the glass surface.
|
 |
 |
- Keep the glass vase in a well-aired room. Spray the top side of the fern leaves with spray mount.
- Carefully stick the leaves to the outer surface of the vase. See that every part of the leaves adhere to the glass surface.
|
- Moisten the vase (with leaves) with three coats of etching spray as per the manufacturer's tips.
- Let the vase dry for 5 minutes between applications.
|
 |
 |
- Peel off the fern leaves after you have allowed the vase to dry for an hour. Gently wash away any leaf bit that has got left behind (do not use a dishwasher, only hand).
