Creative idea
How to do it 
1
Fold a piece of construction card lengthwise.
2
Draw one half of a shape against the folded edge, for example, a vase as shown in the photo. The shape should measure 24-27 cm in height.
3
Cut the shape away from the card and unfold the symmetrical design.
4
Decorate the design with handmade paper in different shapes and colours. Attach the handmade paper onto the shape using a glue stick or an E-Z runner.
5
Turn over the decorated shape and trim the excess paper protruding over the edge of the shape with a pair of scissors once the glue is dry.
6
Attach 3D glue dots onto the back of the shape in case you want a 3D effect.
7
Remove the protective paper from the 3D foam pads and attach the design onto a plain sheet of construction card or similar.
8
Display the finished designs on the wall.
