We measure the height of the glass, cut off the excess part of the plastic. Now with a thermo gun it's necessary to glue the tubes vertically on the glass. After the glue has dried, we tie a satin ribbon near the base of the vase and form a small bow. Our new vase from the glass and tubes is ready!

It is better to choose a quick-drying glue or not in a hurry with the manufacture of products. As a result, we receive magnificent ornaments that can decorate the windows of a house or decorate a Christmas tree growing in the courtyard. And do not be afraid for their safety.
