Introduction: Umbrella Stand
Give a second life to a watering can.
Customize an old watering can as an umbrella stand . An object which help to protect the floor.
To make this object choose your paper according to a theme.
Step 1:
equipment
- watering can
- varnish glue
-news paper
-brush
-original paper (with theme if you want)
DON'T FORGET TO PROTECT THE TABLE!
Step 2:
stage 1
Cut out strips of the news paper .
Step 3:
stage 2
Cover the watering can using the varnish glue and put down news paper strips. Then put another coat of glue on the strips ( not thick).
The strips should be glued in all directions.
Step 4:
stage 3
Repeatthis action to cover the watering can.
It is necessary to cut various sizes to obtain an even surface.
Step 5:
stage 4
Wait for the news paper to dry because with the vanish glue the news paper is different.
The strips mix up until the varnish glue is dry.
Step 6:
stage 5
Cut in original paper forms, object, characters and stick them in the watering can as with the news paper.
You can do a musical theme, food theme... you can create your own world.
I choose rounds, building and musical notes.
Paper Napkin can provide motifs too.
You can cover all the news paper if you want, and put colors.
Step 7:
Your watering can is finished. You have in your house a new original and unique umbrella stand. You have a new useful object which is not expensive.
