For the vase, I would use a long skinny balloon, like the balloon artists twist up to make toys.
Hi Tony,
As Lifestyles suggested, you could use a a clear sealant for the crepe paper, but I'd definitely try the look on some scrap crepe paper first.
The balloons are used to hold the shape of the cement to make a vase. Then the balloon is popped and removed. If you wanted to use something other than cement, you could try something like clay or paper mache. Here's one made with recycled paper. Wishing you the best.

You could try lightly spraying it with this spray gloss finish https://amzn.to/2UjP449
Hi Toni, a clear gloss spray paint should work on your crepe paper flowers. WRT to making a vase with a balloon without using cement, you can use newspaper and paints. Here's a great video that will show you how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuoMzeD6380
