Lego Bouquet Vase

August 2, 2022

I finished the vase in the spring but didn’t get around to taking pictures of it until now.  The gaps and curves on the vase give the vase its interesting shape.  I kept the vase white with accents of gold.

More work on the vase.  I tried aligning the sides with the corners but I’m not sure I like it that way.  It looks too squarish.  The staggered look on the curve yesterday gives it a more interesting look.  To make the outer curve look more proportioned, I might need to bring in the neck to make the cylinder more narrow.  Also, I think I need to order more parts.  I don’t have enough white macaroni, panels, plates, brackets and corner pieces.

I just ran out of curved panels, macaroni pieces and various white pieces… I subbed in some grey and blue, but I might try to switch them all to white or leave a line of colour.  Slightly less than half the vase, but it’s starting to shape up nicely.  The build is a bit fragile but I’ll reinforce it once I finish the basic structure.

I got some parts from Bricklink and started playing around with them.  Here’s the start of my next vase.  The corners don’t quite meet up with the edge panels when I connect the curve pieces on top.  I might try to make some variations to the shape.  I’m still deciding if I want to try to get it to align or leave it as is.  I ordered some other pieces from Lego’s Bricks and Pieces but I don’t expect to get them for awhile.

I’m currently working on creating a Rustic Bouquet Vase with a classic rounded bottom and a narrow neck and opening.

I didn’t want to spend a lot of money trying to get a bunch of parts to test with, so I used the BrickLink Studio to create a prototype.

Here’s my attempt at a Lego Bouquet Vase using Studio.  The program identified some clutch issues in my design that I will need to resolve.  Also, some of the pieces I used in the design aren’t available, so I will have to make some modifications refinements to make this work.

Time to order some parts and build.
