Upycle: DIY Rustic Jute Vase


This rustic jute vase turns an old bottle into a beautiful piece of decor! Have fun experimenting with different types of string and fabric to create a custom vase to match your home.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Time to complete: 45 Minutes
Age range: 12 and Up

Things you’ll need:
Old glass bottle
Jute
Scissors
Burlap fabric
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Things to do:
1. The first step is covering the bottle in jute. Start by securing the end of a piece of jute to the bottom of the bottle with hot glue.

2. Once the jute is secured, wrap the jute around the bottle, applying hot glue when necessary. Continue wrapping until the bottom portion of the bottle is covered.

3. When the bottom is covered, cut the jute and use hot glue to secure the end.

4. Now you’ll want to cover the neck of the bottle in jute. Leave about 1 inch of space and start gluing and applying the jute until the neck of the bottle is covered.

5. Cut three heart shapes out of a piece of burlap fabric.
6. Fold the heart shapes in half and run the hot glue down the crease. Attach the hearts to the bottle, letting the sides poke out for a cool, 3D effect.
