- Glass Vase
Tips for Making a Beehive Vase
One of the most important tips to keep in mind when creating a Beehive vase is to unravel the nautical rope slowly and carefully. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from tangling.
If you don’t have Waverly Ink Chalk Paint, any black paint will work just fine, and you can even use other colors if you prefer a different look!
When applying the hot glue to the vase, work in small sections around the vase to ensure a secure hold and prevent the rope from sliding around.
When painting the center of the Beehive circle, be patient and use light strokes to avoid smudging the paint. Remember to wait for each layer to dry completely before adding more. If you make a mistake or want to change something, don’t worry! Hot glue can be removed with a hairdryer and a little bit of patience.
And finally, don’t be afraid to get creative with your Beehive vase! You can experiment with different rope thicknesses, colors, and vase shapes to create a truly unique piece of decor.
