Vases made from Gauze Bandages on Balloons

1.   Spread a protective sheet of plastic on the table, where you intend to work. Cut the gauze bandage into strips so that they are ready. Pour water into a flat plate or similar and blow up a balloon. Now moisten a strip of gauze bandage and put it onto the balloon. A minimum of two to three layers. (The more layers, the better). Let the ballon dry for at least 4 hours.

2.   Puncture and remove the balloon. Use a flat foam brush and paint the vase with A-Color gloss paint diluted with water. Let the diluted paint run over the sides and let the vase dry.

3.   Glue a pre-painted napkin ring onto the bottom of the vase, enabling it to stand un-aided, using a glue gun. Remember that the vase cannot hold water.
