How to Make a Layered Paper Vase | New Paper Technique

In this video, I’m sharing a new technique for working with paper pulp that I’ve been developing over time. At first glance, the project seems very simple — just small squares layered one on top of another. But the real key lies not in the shape itself, but in how the material is handled. The most important part of this technique is working wet. We don’t wait for the elements to dry. In fact, we don’t allow them to dry at all. Letting the paper dry too early creates tension, cracks, and bonding issues. Paper pulp works best when it is soft and flexible. It’s similar to working “wet on wet” — everything happens at the right moment, while the material is still responsive. In this tutorial, I show you step by step: – how to prepare the base form, – how to wrap and protect it with cardboard and cling film, – how to roll out the paper pulp, – how to cut and refine the square elements, – how to paint their edges with watercolor, – and how to layer and attach them properly, starting from the top edge. The squares are intentionally imperfect and not ruler-measured. Their slight irregularity gives the surface a more organic rhythm. To enhance the edges, I used black watercolor paint. Wet paper beautifully absorbs pigment, allowing the color to settle naturally into the texture and create depth between the layers. I chose to present this technique as a vase cover. You can place a bottle with water inside to hold fresh flowers, use it as a plant pot cover, or style it with dried branches. The form itself is lightweight, yet visually strong and textured. This technique can go far beyond a vase. It can be used to create wall pieces, textured panels, relief artworks, candle holders, lantern covers, frames, or even more sculptural three-dimensional objects. If you decide to recreate this project, remember to work in stages. Don’t prepare all your elements at once — the material should stay slightly moist. If you need to step away, cover everything with a damp cloth and place it in a cool area to prevent it from drying too quickly. I hope this method inspires you to experiment with paper pulp in your own way. It’s a material that requires understanding, but once you learn how it behaves, it opens up endless possibilities. Let me know in the comments if you try this technique and how you choose to use it. ‎Music:Lifestream‎ ‎Musician:Dream Machine‎ ‎URL:https://icons8.com/music
