Today, I learned first hand that sometimes the simplest of crafts are the best.
I originally wanted to make candle votives which you make by cutting the wine bottle with string, nail polish remover and fire. However, that trick did not work, neither did lighter fluid and neither did a hack saw. So, feeling frustrated and defeated I looked over at the string I was using for that project and realized there was still hope for me to craft after all!
So I made a twine wrapped vase!

It was seriously one of the easiest things I've made and I think it looks really rustic and beachy.
Here's what you need:
-A wine bottle (or any bottle for that matter)
-Twine/string/yarn
-Hot glue gun
Start at the bottom, gluing about every inch. Work your way up until you've reached the place you want to stop. Tada!
This is really cool! I actually have a handful of wine glasses just sitting around at home! I'm going to try this! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love how this project came out! I don't think I would have ever thought of something so simple and yet your finished vase looks amazingly cool. I think I might make one for every room in my house. haha
ReplyDeleteAs for the glass cutting, they sell a tool at Micheals that I don't think is very expensive. It's basically an etching thing that you draw around the bottle where you want it cut and then a stick with a ball on it that you tap on the inside of the class to actually cut it through. It seems weird, but is actually pretty easy and interesting to do.
Thank you Casca!! I'll have to check that out :)
ReplyDeleteI like this post, very creative. As for cutting the glass you can get a glass cutter at the craft store and they work great. Stay crafty!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that hot glue can be used to seal small wounds that wont stop bleeding.
