Make An Eye-Catching Faux Waterfall In A Vase For A Stunning Home Accent
Finding an eye-catching home accent piece that really makes a statement can be challenging. You may have noticed that many of these items seem to be slightly different variations of one another. This makes it difficult to achieve originality within your interior design style. You can easily combat this by crafting your very own home accent piece using your DIY skills, and a unique faux waterfall in a vase is one project worth your time. To create this yourself, all you have to do is place a layer of clay along the inside of a clear glass vase so that it resembles dirt, and dress it up with faux greenery and rocks. You will create your waterfall in the center of the clay using artificial snow.
These materials come together to create a vibrant and realistic mini waterfall contained within vase. This isn't your typical DIY vase upcycling project, so the process may seem intimidating at first. Thankfully, it is actually beginner-friendly and can be completed in just a few simple steps. Let's dive into how to build your very own faux waterfall to use as a stunning home accent piece unlike anything you have ever seen before.
How to create a faux waterfall inside of a glass vase
Start out by spreading Crayola Air Dry Clay in the shade Terra Cotta along one side of the vase. Make indents and texture in the clay with the Blisstime Clay Sculpting Tools so that it resembles dirt. Next, allow the clay to dry completely. Then glue rocks and greenery onto the clay using E6000 and Fri4Free Aquarium Tweezers to pick up each item and put it in place. You can complete this step with whatever combination of OUPENG Pebbles, Shindel Fairy Artificial Grass, and Small World Slate & Stone Slate Stone suits your preferences. Just make sure to leave a section in the center of the clay empty so that you can place your faux water there.
Once the glue dries completely, you are ready to create your faux water using the JOYIN Fake Snow. Apply glue to the clay section you left empty and sprinkle the snow onto it. You may need to get creative with your tweezers and scooper to make sure it ends up in the right place. Finally, let the last layers dry. This vase is so stunning that you may want to ensure it can work as night time decor as well. You can do this by transforming it into stylish statement lighting with the help of the Etinga Fairy Lights. Just wrap the lights around the jar and turn them on after the sun sets.
