Today is Earth Day, and I can’t think of a better way to honor our planet than by making it more beautiful. And by more beautiful, I mean a trash to treasure Ballard knock off.
I just LOVE their Demijohns
But they are A) too big for my tiny apartment and B) a small fortune. Time to get Earth friendly creative people!
Supplies
recycled mason jar
jute rope
hot glue gun
scissors
Cut a looooooong piece of jute rope and attach to jar with a dot of hot glue. Don’t worry if it doesn’t end up being long enough for your jar. You can hot glue two ends together.
Wrap the rope around your jar twice.
On the third time around, loop the rope from top to bottom through your previous two wraps. Continue this pattern for as much of the jar as you would like wrapped.
When finished wrapping, loop jute through one extra time, snip end, and adhere with a small dot of hot glue.
It really is that simple! I love my new vase and think I will use it to hold kitchen utensils. Everyone needs a pretty kitchen!
