Vase for water

Post by Whisteul »

Hello,

I'm considering to make a vase which could contain water, such as a traditional vase, ceramic for example. Unfortunately, paper doesn't seem to like water... :D

What could I do ? Thank you !

Regards,
Whisteul.

use paper that repels water? Rite in the Rain or anything Tyvek based immediately springs to mind - I've never tried folding it though.

I've had good experiences with glueing a thin layer of plastic foil to the side of the paper that will become the inside of the vase.
In some stores you also get waterproof paper.

You can use some Nano- spray. That works wonderful for a period of time ;). And it`s very good to impress people . Or usefull on other things.

How about foil? May look messy and unproffesional, but it is waterproof, I think.
