How to Make a Vase Your Own Using Tinkercad!

The vase I made with Tinkercad. This tutorial is very simple and perfect for busy students with not much time to design like myself.

Any desktop with a browser, even a Chromebook!

Optional: A 3d printer or clay to make your vase come to life!

The base is the most essential part of a vase, but this doesn't mean it's not customizable

This step is extremely easy with Tinkercad's new tool: revolve sketch, using revolve sketch you can make the base of your vase any way you want, I recommend starting with a shape like the third picture you see above and moving all three points any way you want. To change the diameter of the top and the height, use the point on the top left. To change the diameter of the bottom use the point on the bottom left. You can even change how hollow your base is with the point on the right. Make sure the point on the right is touching the blue line or else there would be a hole in your vase!

Now we're almost done, like the first step we have three points that can be moved to change the shape, I recommend starting with a shape like the second picture above and make sure that the bottom left point is touching the top point or else the two parts won't align. I also recommend moving the top point to the right instead of left for a classic vase look.

Now onto the final part of the actual vase, you know the drill, 3 points and completely customizable. I recommend starting with the second picture above and moving the top point left instead of right for a nice opening at the top. Make sure the bottom left point is touching the top point or else the parts won't align.

Now you can add anything you want to your vase, for example I engraved a 67 in mine, you can add shapes, numbers letters, or even make your own design with the extrude sketch tool on the second picture above. And now you're done!
