I was inspired by this pin I found on Pinterest and decided to give it my own take. It doesn't require a tutorial because it was super easy, but here it is anyway!
What you need:
Glass bottles-- I used 2 wine bottles and an olive oil bottle but I'm planning on adding bottles of different shapes and sizes once Kevin drinks some beer for me
Yarn-- I used yarn but the picture above used twine
Hot glue gun
Twigs
Glue a ring around the bottom of the bottle to start the yarn wrapping. There's no need to glue all the way up, one ring will get it started.
Start wrapping!
I found it was easier to wrap if you hold the bottle horizontal while twisting it and holding the yarn in place. I wrapped and then pushed all the yarn down to make it tighter periodically. The "body" of the bottle was easy, but the curve of the bottle up to the neck was a little more tedious. I glued many rings around the curve because the yarn kept slipping.
Ta-Da! Final product on the table. I have mustard, grey/brown, and dark purple so far. I'm going to add a green and blue once I have more bottles. On my run tonight I collected some dead tree branches to put in the new "vases". I used
this method to make the pom pom flowers. I glued the pom poms to the sticks with hot glue. Very simple.
I had a lot of burlap left over so I made cute it to make a table runner. I'm going to add lace to the ends, just haven't done it yet!
Very fall. Enjoy!
