From Pringles bus to nice autumn vase.

It doesn't have to be that expensive to make something nice.

Take a pringles canister and decorate it with beautiful napkins.

You then have a nice vase for dry flowers.

You can edit the small vans into nice pen holders.


How did I proceed?

First of all eat the pringles can empty...I let my children do that.

Make sure to clean the inside first, because they are quite greasy.

I left this one intact, but if you want a slightly shorter one, you can cut it neatly at the desired height.


Then I put a layer of kitchen roll on it with decoupage glue from Viva.

This is not done too neatly, because I wanted to have some structure in it.

Toilet paper or a layer of clay is also possible.

I let this dry very well because the bus absorbs the moisture, so it takes longer to dry.


After that I provided everything with a layer of gesso, so that any prints on your kitchen roll are gone.

You let this dry for a while.

In the meantime, can you cut your napkins that you want to stick on,

I used the fall napkins.

Remove the back 2 layers of your napkin after cutting the figures.

Then stick the napkins on the bus with napkin lack of decoupage glue from viva.

When the pictures are a bit dry, apply a nice layer of decoupage glue over the entire bus.

Now the bus has a nice gloss layer and you can treat it with patina liquid to give it a nice vintage look.

I applied it with a cloth because I like that better, but that is entirely up to you.


Then I painted everything with a spray can of varnish.

I was not completely satisfied and glued on a strand with berries and some loose sugar berries.

I glued this with a glue gun

In the past I worked with my mother together on roof tiles and stones with napkins, this was so much fun. And the nice thing is that it is still a very nice and beautiful technique. The technique I use now is just a little different, because you work on the inside.
