I made these vases for Country Living a while ago. They are made with cotton yarn in 4 different colors.
You need:
Bottles or vases
cotton yarn, not to thin
hot glue gun
Start by gluing the yarn on the bottom of the bottle or vase.
Do just a little at a time. It takes time, but the result is really beautiful.
Use different colored yarns to make the stripes.
Have a fab weekend.

This is so pretty and the possibilities are endless. A keeper! Happy Friday Sweet Paul.

Hi paul...this craft inspired me so much, i decided to make something similar...i made this photo frame with the same technique, but in a less professional way..and i must say although it looked pretty...it still didnt have the perfection, your vases had...do check it out if you have time.
I love your blog. cheers...
