Greetings, dear friends!
I want to share with you a rather simple and inexpensive way of how you can make a mold out of plastic pipes for making plaster vases. I made 2 vases with the texture of leaves and crumpled foil in this way. It turned out very unusual.
For making, I used:
1. Pieces of plastic pipes with a diameter of 110mm and 75mm;
2. Styrofoam;
3. Some silicone sealant;
4. Knife, file for metal;
5. Plasticine, electrical tape;
6. Construction gypsum;
7. Leaves, foil;
8. Acrylic paints;
9. Shoe polish.
The manufacturing process is not complicated, it took me about 3 hours from the beginning of manufacturing to the finished vase. And when the mold is ready, you can cast the vases even faster.
You can come up with any texture you like, the main thing is not to be afraid to include imagination. You can also paint it in any color you like.
These are decorative vases, but they can be soaked in a water-repellent solution and then water can be poured.
See how I made this shape and the vases themselves:
And yet, the size of the form can also be made almost any. Change both the height and diameter of the pipe to create a large vase.
