Turn a cube vase upside down and cover it with cling film
Turn the vase around and tuck the cling film into the vase
The cube vase is now protected from any glue spills making it easy to remove the twigs and clean the vase
Stretch an elastic band around the cube vase
Slip a twig under the elastic band
Place a second twig.
These twigs should extend slightly over the vase bottom.
Add a two more twigs, one on each side of the vase
Trim the twigs so that they barely show over the bottom
Glue a twig on the bottom side of the vase. Do not glue the twig to the vase but rather from one side twig to another
Add another twig, again not gluing it to the vase but from twig to twig
Keep adding twigs to follow the shape of the vase
Do the same at the sides. Be careful to avoid the elastic band so that it can be easily removed without damaging the armature
Simply add twig...
... after twig...
... after twig...
When you have a strong cube shape...
Reach in and cut the elastic band
Remove the elastic band
Carefully lift...
... away from the cube vase.
