Step 1
Take a round cardboard box, cut a hole in it with the diameter of the bottle neck. Insert the bottle neck into the hole. Tape the joints with painter’s tape. (see photo)
Step 2
Mix the mortar (gypsum+water), not rare. Pour the mortar into the mould with the bottle. The bottle should be completely filled with the mortar. Leave it to harden for 2 hours.
Step 3
Remove the product from the mould. Wash off any paper residue from the mould with water. Leave to dry.
Step 4
Prepare a mixture of egg trays, PVA glue and putty. Tear the trays into small pieces and pour warm water over them. Leave it for 24 hours. Blend the mixture with a blender. Squeeze out the water. Add PVA glue and putty. Stir.
Step 5
From the resulting mass mould the petals. From the petals make a rose on the vase. Cover the neck of the bottle with the same mixture. Leave to dry for 72 hours.
