Sometimes I get really tired of looking at craft projects that means to have to go out and spend lots of money in order to make it.
I wanted to come up with a project that was fun, easy and with things that everyone has at home.
We all have that sweater with a stain or a hole and some sort of vase, right.
So, simply place the vase in the arm and cut off about 2 " from the bottom.
Fold that 2" in and voila, you have a very stylish winter vase.

I totally agree! Recyling not only saves money, it's fun too. I really like your styling with this "knitted vase" :-)
