Children's craft that looks like a Greek inspired mosaic vase made from card and tissue paper

Looking for some fun crafts to do at home?

This mosaic vase craft is the perfect way to get arty this summer and create a Mediterranean inspired card or decoration.

Whether you’re looking for a creative weekend activity or something to do during the summer holidays, this is a great way to get crafty and have some fun!

Inspired by Greek mosaic vase art, this craft is a great way to learn more about Mediterranean style.

The supplies you’ll need for the craft are:

  • One piece of A4 card
  • Tissue Paper in at least 2 colours
  • Sharpie/Marker
  • Glue
  • Plants/leaves – this one is optional, you can either write a message on the back as a card or do what we did and collect some leaves from the garden to make it look like there is a plant in your vase!

Just follow these steps to create your own:

  1. Take your card and draw out a vase shape, this could be round or tall, whatever shape you fancy.
  2. Once you’ve drawn the outline, cut your vase shape out. Remember to be careful when cutting with scissors.
  3. Take your tissue paper and rip it into small squares, don’t worry about making them perfect as mosaics are often made from leftover pieces of tile.
  4. Paint your glue onto the front of your vase and stick down your squares of tissue paper, creating a pattern with different colours. Make sure to cover the whole vase then leave it to dry. Once you’re done, you can write on the back or follow the next step below to create a mosaic vase with plants.
  5. Go out into the garden and look for any leaves that have fallen on the ground, see if you can find any flowers too but remember, never cut or pick a flower, only collect ones that have already fallen. You can then use some tape to stick your plants to the back side of your ‘vase’, once you flip it over it’ll looks like you have plants coming out of the top!

This is the ideal summer craft with kids as it gets them creative and encourages them to explore the garden outside. Don’t forget we’d love to see your mosaic vases and the plants you find, make sure to post a picture and tag us @boothscountry on social media.
