Now you can imagine the same with a vase. A vase shatters. You could leave it for a million years and it would never reform into the same vase. However a human can intelligently intervene and quickly glue the vase into a whole again.
The analogy is misleading you. Measuring the contribution to entropy of shaping material into a vase isn't really possible, but rest assured that the entropy of the system (which includes people) increases when the vase is made, when it shatters, and when it is reassembled.
