These Twine Wrapped Bottle Vases are a super cute and easy up-cycled craft!
Hi there, Juggling Act Mama readers! It's Katie from View From The Fridge back this month with an easy upcycle project just in time for Valentine's Day ... and then {hopefully soon} Spring! I love easy DIY projects like this Succulent Wreath from fellow contributor Natalie.
Well, a couple of days before Christmas this year, my husband and I decided to do the Whole30 diet (it's a long story as to why we started before New Years and even before Christmas, but I'll spare you the details for now). Because you can't drink wine (or any other alcohol), and no sweetened or artificially sweetened drinks, we drank a lot of San Pellegrino. A lot. Because plain ol' water got boring fast (at least for me).
Why am I telling you all of this?!?! Well ... that pile of empty San Pellegrino bottles was piling up, and they were just begging for a new life. Enter ....Twine Wrapped Bottle Vases:

You could totally change up the colors of the flowers depending on your decor or color scheme, but these happen to be perfect for Valentine's Day!
SUPPLIES
Here's what you'll need:

- Empty San Pellegrino bottle, wine bottle, or and other glass bottle.
- Jute Twine (I found mine craft store where the floral/wreath making supplies are)
- Strips of burlap in multiple colors (I used a combination of pink, dark pink, and cream for these). If you don't have burlap, or want to go with another color, any fabric will work for these rosettes.
- A hot glue gun (a very well used hot glue gun in my case)
PROCESS
- Simply hot glue the end of the twine to the bottom of the bottle. Give the glue a minute or two to take hold, then simply start wrapping that twine around the bottle, working your way up to the top. And because I'm
lazyefficient, you don't even need to remove the labels ... just cover 'em up as you go! - When you get to the top, simply hot glue the end in place to secure. As you can see ... covering the neck of the bottle gets a bit tricky, but there's no need to be perfect:
- Now ... my favorite part: making the rosettes. Take your strips of burlap, and quickly and easily make these flowers:
- Get out your glue gun again, and simply glue each flower on with a small drop of glue.
- Add flowers (tulips are my all time fave):
And you're done! An easy upcycle that can either go with your neutral decor (add all cream flowers instead), or can add a pop of color for Valentine's Day, Easter, and eventually ... Spring (yay)!!

I'm planning on doing something similar for the centerpieces at my wedding. SO, I'm so glad I found your post! These vases are too cute, and look do-able!

Congratulations, Mary! I bet they will be just beautiful! 🙂

How exciting, Mary!! I love the natural look of the twine. They'd be adorable with some lace, too!
Beverly says
Love these re-purposed bottles. The twine is great and then you added the flowers which really made it.
Love it,

These are so cute. I love all projects that involve twine. I don't really know why I just like the way it looks.

Thanks, Leslie! I love twine, too!! I can't stop making stuff with it! Love to tie it around presents, too! Thanks for the comment!

I just love these bottles. They are beautiful yet simple enough for someone as crafty-challenged as me to do. Also love that I have all of these items on hand! Love free upcycling.

Thanks for your comment, Danielle! Katie hasn't the cutest ideas!

Hi, I'm planning on doing the same but am wondering how much rope twine to purchase. Do you know approx how much is needed per wine bottle? I see a good price on Amazon for 200ft rolls, but I'll have several bottles on several tables and don't know how many rolls I should get.
Ang Paris says
The amount of twine really depends on the size of the bottle. I would guess that 200ft will be plenty. If it were me, I'd purchase 1 roll.
Dorothy Boucher says
I love your crafty project here, I was actually looking to maybe do some of these.I wonder how different colors of yarn might look on these.
