I am always looking for a very quick and simple craft project that can dress something up that I have laying around the house. I don't know if you remember the T-Shirt Rope Scarf I posted about but I made a ton of them and have quite a variety of colors. I went to put one on and thought about all the Pins I have seen with glass jars covered in sweaters and I thought why not use some of these "rope" scarves and wrap a jar for a candle.
Now, this was supposed to be a quick and easy little project but after three broken glass vases I was ready to pull every last piece of hair out. It was as if my hands were made of jello because I kept dropping the glass vases. Crazy! I finally got two done and figured why push my luck for any more.
I just took the pieces of t-shirt "rope" and started at the bottom of the vase and wrapped them around and around until it was nice and tight. Then I added the next color and then the next. I wanted these to be something I could use again so I just added some Valentine Garland around it and that way it is a temporary holiday vase.
I hope you enjoy making your own and maybe have better luck than I did with keeping the glass in one piece.
Just take your infinity "rope" scarf and start wrapping them around the jars. I did it like you would wrap a rubberband around something--kind of a figure eight wrap.
Display them with a few pieces of Valentine's Day Garland
Have fun!!

ReplyDeleteSo nifty and cute! Haha I did the same thing with a project a few months ago where I broke the glass in three different frames. Irritating to say the least!
ReplyDeletesuper clever - well done - and a nice end result!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out so well! Can't wait to try wrapping a few candles that way! What a clever idea!
