You know we go faux when it comes to plant life. I have quite a bit of fake leaves and flowers that would be perfect for this DIY Terrazzo Paper Vase. A perfect modern addition to your desk or shelf. You can use your cutting machine or cut by hand – read on to find out how!
What You Need – DIY Terrazzo Paper Vase
- Silhouette Studio (there is a free version!)
- Silhouette cutting machine (I used the CAMEO)
- I used the vase from this design from the Silhouette Design Store
- Colored and/or patterned thick cardstock (I got my pattern at Creative Market then printed it on cardstock) Note: If you are reading this the week of June 17 2019, Creative Market has this set of terrazzo patterns free this week only!)
- Glue
- Scissors if you are cutting by hand

Instructions
- Download and open your vase design in Silhouette Studio
- Place the vase design in the print/cut area. Note: I only used the shapes in the image below and made the lid smaller so that it fit inside the top of the vase instead of outside
- Now load your terrazzo patterned cardstock on to your cutting machine
- Send to cut using cardstock settings
- Fold along the dashed lines and glue the tabs to create the vase shape
If you don’t have your silhouette cutting machine yet, no problem! You can use the free Silhouette Studio version software, then send to your printer and cut them out by hand. Remember to make the lines thicker so that you can see where to cut and fold when the design is printed.
And that’s it! Tell me in the comments below – What faux fauna will you fill your pretty vases with?
